Overview

• Your Child, His Family, and Friends, borrowed in July 1943, was mailed back from Oregon in June after being found among a family’s inherited possessions.
• A note signed P.A.A.G. explained that the borrower’s grandmother checked it out before transferring to the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City.
• San Antonio Public Library’s 2021 elimination of overdue fines meant no penalties applied, though original stamps show a 3¢-per-day charge.
• The book is on view in the Central Library lobby through August as staff highlight its status as SAPL’s longest-overdue return.
• The guide will be donated to the Friends of the San Antonio Public Library for sale at the Book Cellar, with proceeds funding library programs.
