GEORGE WASHINGTON HAS ACCRUED A $300,000 FEE FOR NOT RETURNING LIBRARY BOOKS
April 17, 1779 - United States
George Washington is said to have racked up $300,000 in late fees for failing to return two books to a Manhattan library. The first President had borrowed them from the New York Society Library on E. 79th St. in 1789 and never returned them. "We're not actively pursuing the overdue fines," the head librarian said. "But we would be very happy if we were able to get the books back." Washington's deed had gone unnoticed for almost 150 years, and only discovered in 1934 , when an old and dusty ledger was discovered in the library's basement.
