CHS Community Post | Thefts from Little Libraries along 16th East

On Thursday afternoon, a woman in her 50-60’s, who wore glasses and was stooped and drove a small red car, was unloading our neighborhood Little Library books into several large bags. When I went over to see her she said she was going to replace them with other books in her car. She didn’t.
Later, on a walk down 16th East, I saw that another Little Library was bare shelved as well.
Just be aware that this is happening….

(esoteric point) Can you really steal from a library whose whole mission is to give books away? Yes, it sounds jerky, and it sounds weird, but is it theft?

Why would somebody do that? Most of the books I’ve seen in Little Free Libraries would _not_ be purchased by used book stores, so what’s the point?
