Pink Floyd CD returned to Prince George's library 35 years after being added to collection

"Better late than never!" the library posted on Facebook.

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. — We've all been late to return a book, or CD, to the library. But in Prince George's County, someone took that to a whole new level. 

The Prince George's County Memorial Library System posted on Facebook that the team found Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" in the one of the library's return boxes on Friday, which was added to its collection 35 years ago. 

"Better late than never! Check out what the team at the Laurel Branch Library pulled from the return box this morning," Prince George's Memorial Library System posted on Facebook. "This is Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" CD, which was added to our collection 35 years ago! Bet they're glad PGCMLS went #FineFree"

The library system went "fine free" in 2020 and waived all existing overdue fines from customer accounts. 

Users on Facebook commented on the nostalgia factor. 

"Wow, 1989 was 35 years ago, why did you have to tell me that?!" one person wrote.
