DELMAR — An apparent political message was shared through stickers defaming President Joe Biden across books and signage at the Bethlehem Public Library over the weekend.
The act of vandalism targeted three books and the signage for the library’s New York times’ Bestsellers section. The books in particular were two copies of former President Barack Obama’s “Promised Land,” and a third by Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility.”
Library director Geoffrey Kirkpatrick said the stickers have since been removed after a thorough sweep by library staff. He emphasized that the library does not tolerate vandalism of library property.
“The issue, although easily fixed, is still not acceptable,” he said. “We don’t tolerate the defacing of public property.”
