A long-ago high school student wants to make good on a couple of way overdue books.

A high school librarian in Phoenix says the former student has returned two books checked out some 51 years ago. There was a money order along with the books, for $1,000 to cover the fines.

Camelback High librarian Georgette Bordine says the former student doesn't want to be named.

At two cents a day, fines would have totaled $745.

Bordine says the long overdue books are being returned to shelves, while the money will be used to buy more books for the school library.
