Staff at the Winnipeg Public Library received a surprise just before the holidays when they realized a book, checked out decades earlier, had been returned. An anonymous person had borrowed a copy of Sarah Binks 50 years earlier, checking the book out from the Cornish Library. A first-edition copy of Sarah Binks, written by Paul Hiebert, was returned to the Winnipeg Public Library 50 years overdue. The book was checked out before the Winnipeg Public Library introduced digitization, so it's unclear who took it out. The book was also returned via the library book chute, which means the story of how it was returned after many years is still a mystery.
