A book which was borrowed from a library in the UK was found abandoned on the Paris Metro before being diligently returned by a local.
The travel guide, “Top 10 Paris,” was borrowed from Battle Library on Oxford Road in Reading earlier in the summer.
An eagle-eyed Parisienne found it on Metro Line 1 in the French capital a few weeks later and messaged the library to find out how to send it back.
Library staff have now contacted the original borrower to reassure them the book has been returned.
Reading Borough Council’s lead councillor for leisure and culture, Adele Barnett-Ward, said: “It’s wonderful to see how far our library books can travel, although we do prefer they come back home eventually.”
