We know about new and found books, about books with a record large circulation, and also about book mischief, the most sold book in the world and the highest fine for library books.

Book's beneficence
As Vivat writes, this record will sound like this: “The most books donated to charity in a period” and it will reach 657,061 examples. The record was set by the Rotary Clubs of Jamaica in the spring of 2010. The books were donated to the Jamaican Library Service, as well as to kindergartens and schools.
A century-old record among book authors
Al-Maha Rashed Al-Mhairi from the UAE became the youngest person to publish a book. This record was recorded quite recently – 7 June 2024. At the time of the publication of the first book, the girl was 3 years old and 319 days old. The record was confirmed in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Al-Maha believes that this book is for other children to create their own lives.
Until now, the youngest author in the world was Dorothy Straight (05/25/1958, USA), who wrote the book “How the World Began” in 1962, when Dorothy was 4 years old. This book was published in 1964.
And since the last century, since the author published the first book – 100 years. This record was set in 2005 by Bertha Wood from Great Britain. Vaughn has seen the partly autobiographical book “Fresh in the Morning and Fun: The Story of a Camp in Blackpool.”
Challenged book collectors

Bob Narakhov's library of short stories contains 101,822 unique exhibits (not duplicates).
