Rows of urine-stained books have been found in two local libraries.
Workers discovered the soiled volumes on the shelves of Aurora Memorial Library in Portage County and Geauga West Library in Chester Township. Hundreds of books -- collectively valued at several thousand dollars -- had to be discarded, officials said.
Police in both communities are investigating.
"I can't even believe we're discussing something like this," said Linda Yanko, manager at Geauga West. "It's appalling and disgusting."
The problems at Geauga West started in January, Yanko said. About once a month since then, staff members have stumbled upon newly soiled areas within the collection. The most recent find occurred this week. There's no pattern to the vandalism.
Aurora's troubles began more than two years ago. Defiled books have been found sporadically ever since, said Pamela Hickson-Stevenson, director of the Portage County District Library.
The two libraries are about 13 miles apart. Officials said they do not know whether the incidents are related.
