George! Shame on you!
A library has revealed that George Washington, the first president of the United States of America, was a common library cheat.
He borrowed two books from them back in 1789, but never returned them – meaning that to date he would have racked up a $300,000 (£195,000) fine.
Staff at the New York Society Library say they will not chase the fine, but they’d like the books back, if anyone finds them at The White House.
