Can someone explain what occasion this sentence refers to? Thanks.

I checked in the book and stood on line for you.

You can't tell from that sentence. Someone checked something in a book (no idea what information or what book) then stood on line (queued up for something, but could be anything) on someone else's behalf.

Hi Nona

Can "check in the book" mean returning the book to the library? Just a wild guess though. Please advise.
