Forgetful President

      3.   He didn’t sign his name in the borrower’s book. He just wrote “President” to show who had taken them out.

    The two books should have been brought back a month later, but they were never returned. Workers at the library realized the books were missing when they organized the library’s old records. The New York Society Library doesn’t expect anyone to pay the fine.   4.
