UK Library Assistant Steals Books - Sells To Ebay
Every group has its bad seeds. I regret to inform you this is one of ours. I had heard this news story but assumed it was a patron.
It was indeed a library assistant who gave a new meaning to shelving. The BBC has the story:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/6083672.stm
Norman Buckley stole antique books and rare editions. He kept most of the books but he made a killing selling Chaurcer and John Dunne.
Tsk, tsk.
