10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

It's almost more shocking that the library allowed to check out all those books. There can't be a legitimate reason to do so, even if he said he needed to reference them all for a thesis or something like that
Yeah the limit at my library is 14, which is more than generous even if you happen to be researching a topic for a report / thesis etc.
Some of those titles may have been requested from other libraries in the same library system. My library limits me to, say, 20 books. But I can request another 20 from Second Library one town over, and another 15 from Third Library two towns over. The books all get sent to My Library and placed on the hold shelf for me, and checked out at My Library. Each library has their own lending policy.
Yeah, it's messed up. Grumble grumble rude butthead that would check out 80+ DVDs at a time and yell at you if you didn't check in his returns fast enough (so he could max out his checkouts again).
Something this article doesn't mention is that the population of Beachwood is predominantly Jewish, so this was very targeted
Sounds like a hate crime to me.
1 year for every book seems an appropriate sentence
I believe it would be appropriate if he were to experience what he put all those books through.
Nazis gonna Nazi
Americans gonna let them
And all the other nazis do not see nazis.
The library should be taking this douches nozzle to collections, and replacing the destroyed materials.
I think that's the point. But legally they have to wait for them to be overdue. At least that's my understanding.
Shouldn't be too long, most libraries have a 4-wk lending period.
They might get auto-renewed for another 4 weeks, unless someone's requested the book (which usually disables auto-renewal).
True, but not all libraries have auto-renewal circ policies in place
This fucking prick couldn’t read and unluckily could use fire, like a basic caveman.
He is probably less than even some cavemen. There are some bits of late cave art that have been interpreted as proto-writing. There were possibly literate cave people.
He can read. At least enough to not pick just random books.
Meanwhile, the library just buys new copies of all the books out of tax money.
That’s assuming that all of the books are still in print and available.
If my personal collection was burned, there are several books that are not replaceable. Especially when you get to books about marginalized groups - things put out by small presses. Limited releases.
Assuming their budget doesn't get cut
