BOUND BROOK, N.J. — A central New Jersey man said he must have lost track of the book about football that he checked out of his local library.
That's a little bit of an understatement because Frank Ryan has had the book for 72 years.
The Bound Brook resident said he discovered the book, "Football Through The Years," in his attic.
He'd checked it out when he was 11 years old, in 1944.
Back then, the library levied a two-cent-per-day fine for overdue books. That would amount to more than $500 now.
Ryan jokingly said he hopes he doesn't go to jail. He added that he doubts there's anyone alive at the library that would know about the book.
