This is the book that Al Bundy had to return to the library run by Miss De Groot. As he is decades overdue, the fine comes to more than $2000, but Al manages to distract Miss De Groot and slip it back on the shelf - then he "finds" it. Unfortunately for him, the building has security cameras and his actions are caught on tape, leading to him becoming "the Freddy Krueger of the library system". The book appeared in "He Thought He Could". It is referenced again, for example, in "Sofa So Good", when Bud asks who can inform Mom that Kelly has just torched her beloved sofa.
