BLOWING ROCK — The Blowing Rock Community Library continued to celebrate its centennial year with its second book signing event featuring Randy Johnson.
Have you heard about the woman who kept a library book for 63 years?
I read this bizarre story, thanks to email from Candace, a friend who saw it in The New York Times. The recent article told of 74-year-old Betty Diamond who had kept an overdue library book in her possession â carrying it with her wherever she moved â for more than six decades.
I rank this story up there with notes in a bottle that bob across the worldâs oceans for decades and Christmas cards from World War II that have just been delivered by the postal service. Such stories are irresistible.
