Lakewood residents want to know who's cleaning out their free little libraries and, in one case, who took the whole thing?Right in front of Vincent O' Keefe's house, he’s made a reading corner to provide a space for book lovers with his free little book library. And residents love it.“You live lives of others through books. There's a lot of empathy, a lot of awareness, perspectives that you would not have thought of,” said O’Keefe.
For 5 years, the box was highly visited, but suddenly, his blue and yellow library was gone.“Overnight, on that Wednesday night, we believe someone took not just the books, but the whole library,” said O'Keefe.It's not the only book theft in the area. On Facebook, multiple residents posted about their libraries being cleaned out, and dozens commented in disbelief.Parents and kids want answers. The community has already begun to replenish the empty boxes.
