Does George Washington – Owes Library Fines, about $100,000 in Late Fees?

April 19, 2010 admin Leave a comment

According to the website Lowering the Bar President George Washington has been accused by a New York Library for failing to return valuable library materials checked out during his presidency. It seems the former President took out two books on in October of 1789, one on international law and another that contained transcripts of debates in Britain’s House of Commons. The books were due back November 2, 1789. If it’s found to be true, that neither book was ever returned this would mean that , setting aside the value of the items themselves, and adjusting for inflation, Washington currently owes about $100,000 in late fees.
