Overdue Book

Overdue book is a recurring item throughout The Commonwealth of Fallout 4. When one is returned to one of the book return terminals in the Boston Public Library or East Boston Preparatory School (probably in more locations), the player receives five book return tokens. The tokens can then be exchanged for a variety of prizes. The most notable of which is a copy of the Massachusetts Surgical Journal from terminal in Boston Public Library.
