William Shakespeare’s The Life of King Henry the Fifth was published by Arlene Deley in 1923. This limited edition 1910 print may be highly sought after by collectors.

The book was recently discovered by Arlene’s granddaughter, Cynthia DeLay, who was going through her late grandmother’s belongings. The girl contacted the library and agreed on a return.

Library director Corey Fleming said it was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his 20 years of operation. Although it is customary for the library to receive a fine for late delivery of a book, this time they decided not to pay this fine.
