In early 2001, San Francisco Public Library staff began finding vandalized books shoved under shelves, hidden throughout the Main Library. Ultimately over 600 torn and sliced books, on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender topics, women’s issues and HIV/AIDS, were deemed beyond repair and withdrawn from the Library’s collection.
A principios del año 2001 el personal de la Biblioteca Pública de San Francisco empezó a encontrar libros estropeados y destrozados escondidos entre los estantes o repartidos por toda la biblioteca Central.
