Ex-librarian Sold Stolen Books on Ebay

eBay For Dummies
Or for Jerk-wad Librarians
Ex-librarian Gillian Polding allegedly (there's that word again) sold stolen library books on eBay.  The Harrow Times reports the Harrow Council says this was a "shocking abuse of position and theft from the public purse which is all the more galling given the financial challenges we face" which is a very British way of saying, "Crazy bitch done sold all our books." 

This does serve to remind us what a shocking amount of power we wield as librarians.  It also shows that used library books do sell on eBay, so if that booksale is not going quite like you want try going digital.
