This
Beatles fan sends 1968 Life magazine back to public library he stole it from as a kid
is a charming story.
But the painful irony is that -- I'll bet! -- the library probably discarded all those old magazines years ago. The magazine that the patron returned might be put on display for its human interest (and Beatle interest). But if patrons are prompted by the display to ask about looking at copies of old magazines, they probably will be disappointed.
Btw, when my university threw out most of its magazine archive in 2010, that was one of the issues I rescued.
Your stories of library materials returned, etc.?
