i’m ngl you’re probably not the first person to do this, unintentional or not, so they’d probably just be happy that you returned it at all

I also remember my university doing the same in parking fines during amnesty week if you donated peanut butter. Which I saw a personal attack as I am allergic to peanuts but I digress

Better late than never! They’ll def just be happy to get the books back, returning library books late happens all the time, they’ll understand

I used to work at a library and it was honestly pretty common. I once had someone turn in books that were over 40 years overdue

Yea from what I know about librarians they do not judge about that lol. I probably have some books at my moms house that I lost in elementary school and never returned
