The Chicago Public Library says that about 100 books were destroyed after someone set a fire in the section for gay and lesbian literature.
It happened Tuesday about noon at the John Merlo branch of the public library in the 600 block of West Belmont. Newsradio 780 is told that someone is believed to have set fire to books with a cigarette lighter and that about 90 gay and lesbian books were destroyed, and that about 10 books destroyed in the African American literature section.
I'm so glad we're living in the 1950s.
