NZ's most overdue library book

[Lamp]

A New Zealand woman with the country's most overdue library book has been let off her £3,500 fine.

Marie Sushames borrowed The Punch Library of Humour from the Rotorua Public Library in 1945.

The book was discovered among family mementoes in the attic of her husband's former family home and recently presented to her on her 85th birthday.

A local official calculated she owed about £3,500 in overdue fees but later said she won't be made to pay

Library manager Jane Gilbert said she would be delighted to waive the charges in return for the privilege of displaying a book that's been 'out' for 61 years.

She told the Daily Post: "It's certainly the longest overdue book I've encountered in my 16 years here. It would be very nice to have it on show."
