Oct. 22 (UPI) -- A copy of William Shakespeare's Life of King Henry the Fifth was returned to a New Jersey library 101 years after it was checked out.

Paterson Public Library officials said a woman named Cynthia Delhaie found the book while sorting through the possessions that had belonged to her deceased grandmother, Arlene Delhaie, and discovered the tome had been checked out from the library in 1923.
