A book was returned to a New York library 72 years late.

John Moss discovered the biography of former US President Theodore Roosevelt in storage and returned it to the Amagansett Free Library where he was told that it had been due back in 1949.
Moss is unsure how the book - 'Great Heart: The Life Story of Theodore Roosevelt' by Daniel Henderson - ended up in his possession.
Library director Lauren Nichols: "It is a first edition from 1919 and has the original library bookplate, as well as the circulation policy on the back cover.
"I've only seen one or two items at the library with these features, but none with both."
Nichols added that Moss would have been charged $262 for the late return of the book but the library has removed financial penalties for overdue items.
