Library Crime News, Cause People Sometimes Suck

Crime And PunishmentA bit more crime happened this week other than Mike and his Superman collection and Skeeter getting arrested.  Here's what went down:

A Carlsbad, CA woman was arrested for swiping around 2,000 library materials from San Diego Public Libraries.  Where the hell was Lindsey Lohan this week?  laist

A librarian in Polk County, FL was charged with cyber-stalking a woman by hacking her Facebook account and email.  Just remember, ladies, librarians are good with computers... and your lady parts. abcactionnews

A retired Washington librarian and boy scout leader stands accused of sexually molesting two children in his capacity of a scout leader.  Community calls bullshit.  Where the hell was Michael Jackson this... oh, oh, sorry, too soon. News Tribune

A New Zealand man was arrested for putting his face in a woman's butt in the parenting section of the library.  Now that is how you get banned from a library.  Herald Sun

A Dublin, OH librarian was suspended and fined for cutting the shelves of a school library with a circular saw.  Re-read that.  We do not know whether he cut them for a library related reason or if they were just giving him the runaround.  NBC4i

Let's end on an awesome note, shall we:  When a Catholic school girl recieved her school's banned book list, she felt all kinds of groady about it.  She started loaning her copies of the books to her friends, then the entire school.  Her locker became a banned books library and she branched out to the locker next door, too.  This story has everything I like:  banned books, lockers, branches, and Catholic school girl outfits.  I am a dirty old man.  Babble

Beer Drinking Conquer Badgers Are Returning Books Stolen by Zee Nazis




Flag: German Nazi Party
Did you know you can buy this on Amazon?
In my attempt to offend every country I can, here's this news story: the Berlin library is giving back the books stolen by looting Nazi's in WWII.    The plundered lootz include an 1883 English language copy of the Communist  Manifesto, possibly owned by Friedrich Engels, which is just funny as all hell.  If you don't get why, learn your history.
