Meanwhile, the record for the world’s most overdue library book belongs to an obscure German text borrowed from the University of Cambridge’s Sidney Sussex College around 1667 or 1668. A professor stumbled across the volume and returned in 1956, nearly 300 years after it went missing. There's something slightly awe-inspiring about that. I wonder what happened to the returned book? On display somewhere, or maybe stored in some "special collection"? I doubt it was put back into general circulation!
