How Much Does An 84 Year Overdue Book Cost In Library Fees?
$1,542.55. At least that’s how much it would cost at the Shreve Memorial Library in Louisiana who charges a $.05 a day late fee.

You can read more and find out who holds the Guinness Book Of World Records for longest overdue book.

Maxine Shaw Joins Black Lightning Season 2!
Okay, the actress’ name is Erika Alexander but if you grew up loving Living Single then one of your all time favorite characters is probably Max Shaw and you’re probably as excited as me that she (the actress) will be on Black Lightning!

And season 2 starts on the CW on October 9th!
