Josh Berk, executive director of the Bethlehem Area Public Library, said an anonymous person returned Happy Birthday Baby Jesus to the library in Nazareth, which sent the overdue tome back home to Bethlehem.

There's no barcode on it, we don't have it on our catalog," Berk told WPVI-TV. He said the library doesn't plan to seek any overdue fees for the book, but they calculated what the fine would be for fun. "Twenty cents a day, which is a lot for 40 years. We did the math, it was like $2,400 or something like that," he said. Berk said the book has already drummed up a lot of interest among library patrons. "You know, we are Bethlehem so, this book about Jesus came home to Bethlehem after 40 years in the wilderness. It feels made up," he said.
