Library book returned after 43 years

A book has been returned to Shetland Library after being out on loan for 43 years.
Broadcaster Mary Blance found "The Adventures of Beowulf" by CL Thomson in an old suitcase.
Library staff laughed when the book was returned and waived the fine - but they did "name and shame" the culprit on social media.
The book was due to be returned in December 1975.
