    Peru: overdue library books returned.

    Here is a good news story for a change.

    Chile has just returned 5000 books it borrowed - well ok nicked - in 1881 from a Peruvian library. Includes Latin, Greek and Spanish texts, some from the 16th century.

    A trend setter?

    A link would be nice - so we can read more about it.

    Otherwise, it's a great thread title.

    Did they have to pay the overdue fines?


    Seriously though, well done Chile.
