5 overdue books from PSU

The PSU library was trashed by vandals in April 2024. I checked these books out a few weeks before the long-term closure, and kept them "overdue" after the library was closed for repairs (supposedly until fall term), because I was using them for my research, and did not want them to be stored inaccessibly.

Well, ooopsie. The library is open and accessible now, and they want their books back. Here's some notes:
