Librarians baffled by urine

Librarians in the US have had to admit they are baffled by the case of the urine-stained library books.

Hundreds of books at two libraries, just 13 miles apart in Cleveland, have had to be thrown out.

Linda Yanko, manager of Geauga West Library, told the Plain Dealer: "I can't even believe we're discussing something like this. It's appalling and disgusting."

She said librarians had been finding new cases or urine-related vandalism about once a month with the recent case coming just this week.

The problems at Aurora Memorial Library began more than two years ago and damaged books have been found sporadically ever since.

Officials admit they have no idea who is responsible - or even if the incidents are related.

I hope it was on the collected works of Karl Marx, Fredrich Engels and Vladimir Lenin.

Are they sure no lil rodents are living in these libraries?

Unlikely. This would imply that it was conservatives urinating on the books---an extremely low probability.

Far more likely is that the books urinated on were by Anne Coulter, Michelle Malkin, and other similar conservative authors. Such behavior is the epitomy of the type of "civil disobedience" practiced by the doctrinaire left.

Somebody has too much time on their hands if they are doing something as stupid as this.

It's probably just a janitor with a weird piss fetish.

Sounds like a case of a very smart dog, male of course, marking his pages.

If this was the Clinton lie-barry they wouldn't be worrying about pee stains...

[TheEditor]

We better get H Lee Sarokin on the case!

Once you allow smelly homeless people to hang around all day in a public place, this is the next likely development...

[Physicist]

Bibliopath ping.

[Sacajaweau]

It took two years to become news...and we're talking a couple hundred books. Our little teeney library just had their annual "discard sale" and sold more than a couple of books in a few hours.

I think I found the perp.
