Read the comments. It’s all about slavery. And it must be Bush’s fault.

Hussein would just say that it was part of his effort to "return the nation's wealth to its rightful owners".
Either that or mumble something about clinging to guns and library cards....

Being NY, they’ll no doubt go to Washington’s grave and try to collect the money.

Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay all borrowed books, the ledger shows.
Wow, I wonder if they ever met each other in the nonfiction section...

Maybe the librarian “Forgot” to mark them as returned. Our local library did that once. :)

If the NY Public Library could fin(e)d those books, they’d make a fortune.

Never fear. Hussein will rush in to pay the fine with stimulus dollars and take over the nation’s library system. What better way to limit information and knowledge.

I just came across a book that my daughter forgot to return to the school library in third grade. I cringe at what they fourteen dollar book is going to cost her.

On a semi-related note, there’s the story of a visitor to the home of Benjamin Franklin who was impressed with the large number of books Franklin had in his personal library.
When asked how he managed to have so many books, Franklin replied, “I have made it a point never to lend out any of my books. In fact, most of what you see here was borrowed from someone else!”

"
President George Washington racks up $300,000 late fee for two Manhattan library books"
"On Oct. 5, 1789, Washington borrowed the "Law of Nations," a treatise on international relations, and Vol. 12 of the "Commons Debates," which contained transcripts of debates from Britain's House of Commons."
So the "dusty, beaten-up ledger" was discovered in a trash heap in the library's basement in 1934. Yet...it was just NOW discovered that President Washington had the two books "overdue?" Or, perhaps this is not new news, but is being re-reported? Interesing timing (esp. the bit about the "Law of Nations" book).
