A book has been returned to Shannon Library, nearly thirty years after it was taken out.
The book, is a biography of former US President Abraham Lincoln, who ironically was known as 'Honest Abe'
It was loaned out in 1987, but recently found by a volunteer from a local charity shop who returned the book to Shannon Library after identifying it as library property.
Despite the long gap, the person who took out the book won't face a hefty penalty as the maximum fine imposed by Clare County Library for an overdue book is €7.50.
