Library book returned 37 years overdue to wrong place

A Shetland Library book has been returned 37 years late to the wrong library 750 miles away.

Peter Bull’s To Sea in a Sieve was due back to the island library on July 12, 1983 – but was only returned on Friday to a library in Suffolk.

Bungay Community Library posted a picture on Twitter, asking whether the incident was fine-worthy.

Shetland Library joked that it was “a good job” it didn’t have overdue fines, and reminded readers that they can return their books to any of its branches on the isles.
