Springsteen memorabilia returned to NJ library

ASBURY PARK, N.J. - December 12, 2008 - More than 1,100 pieces of Bruce Springsteen memorabilia have been returned to the Asbury Park Public Library in New Jersey after library officials filed a police complaint against the men who had taken out the items.

Members of the Friends of the Bruce Springsteen Special Collection took hundreds of books, articles and tour programs to be microfilmed in 2007.

The group says they, not the library, own the stuff. The library disagrees. But the Friends group returned the materials after the police complaint was filed Tuesday against two members.

Library officials say the charges won't be pursued as long as the memorabilia is in good shape.
