Returning a Lost Item to a Library
Question
Hello,
Sorry for opening a new thread; for some reason I’m not able to reply in one of the existing ones.
Sorry it wasn’t clear: I meant that I found a book in a public place, and it says on it that it belongs to a library. I’m not connected to the questioner and don’t know him. The question was what I need to do now with the book.
Is there an obligation on me, under the law of returning a lost item, to return it to the library? Or to the borrower? Or perhaps to neither of them, since the library has already collected the money for it?
Answer
Moving this to that thread.
