The LGBTQ-themed Little Free Library in Waltham, Mass., has been ransacked again. But this time, say the women who manage it, there was a witness in addition to video of the person who took the books.
Reports NBC-TV 10:
For the third time in less than a month, someone was caught on video Sunday morning stealing LGBTQ+ books from The Little Queer Library in Waltham, Massachusetts.
“Came up to the book box, grabbed an arm full of books after rifling through it. Went back to his car and then did it again,” Krysta Petrie said.
Petrie and Katie Cohen built the library in 2020 and placed it on the lawn of their home.
“We would really like for this type of stuff to stop,” Cohen said
The couple believes the acts are targeted, in part due to the ongoing Waltham School District debate about whether to ban two library books with LGBTQ+ themes.
