A magazine has been returned to Concord Public Library in the United States after being overdue for 132 years.

The library said the length of the delay would ordinarily have resulted in an overdue charge of $12,055. However, a temporary freeze on fines was in place, meaning the sum was not incurred.

No further details about the magazine, the circumstances of its return or the person who brought it back were provided. The return brings the item back to the library after more than a century away.

The magazine’s current status following its return was not stated.
