In 1973, Howard Simon—an eighth-grader in Cleveland Heights, Ohio—borrowed a copy of Bob Dylan’s 1970 album Self Portrait from his local library. It was due in June of that year, but Simon never returned it.
Instead, Self Portrait became part of Simon’s personal record collection, which bounced around with him mainly between Chicago and various California cities throughout his adult life.

(Simon evidently organizes his records by artist, followed by release date.)
