A children’s book checked out in the 1940s finally made its way back to the Silver Spring library — after being overdue for 73 years. Mora Gregg, 75, who now lives in Toronto, said the book was inadvertently packed up in a move and taken to Canada when she was a girl. “I thought I really should return it to where it came from,” she says. “And so I wrote a letter, and packaged it up and sent it off.”

These stories always warm my heart. Like, Yay, the book is finally home.


That piercing scream you heard was me!


#1 and #2 😭
