"We hope the book has had a few great few decades away from the Hamilton Public Library."ĬBC reported more than 7,000 library items are considered lost, but that number represents less than 1 percent of the collection. "We do know that our books go on a lot of adventures in our city, our country, around the world," she said. Lisa Radha Weaver, the library's director of collections and program development, told CBC she wasn't sure where the book has been when it was off of the shelves.
