Library Tech Confidential

Library Waives Fee for Sully’s Waterlogged Book [NBC Los Angeles via Slaw]:

When [the pilot and safety expert’s] plane ended up at the bottom of the Hudson River on Jan. 15, so did a book he had checked out from the library at California State University, Fresno, through his local library near Danville… [He] asked for an extension and [received a] waiver of overdue fees because the book was in the airliner’s cargo hold.

Interestingly, a reference to this bit of library trivia has already made its way into his Wikipedia entry.
