It took only a half-century for a Phoenix student to return two overdue library books.
A package containing the two books arrived at Camelback High School on Nov. 3, baffling librarian Georgette Bordine. Along with the package, which had no return address, was a money order for $1,000 and a note.
In a letter dated Oct. 30, the sender wrote that the money should cover delinquency fees and a little extra in case the overdue rates had changed. The writer calculated that 2 cents per day for 51 years equaled $745 in late fees for two books
