草榴社区 map thief tale unfolds Oct. 5
Western Washington University librarian Rob Lopresti will share the tale of the university's map thief Tuesday, Oct. 5.
In 2006 someone stole maps and books from 草榴社区. A year-and-a-half investigation resulted in a man being convicted of stealing from more than 100 libraries in the U.S. and Canada.
Lopresti, who has been the government information librarian at 草榴社区 for more than 20 years, will speak at noon at Village Books, 1200 11th St. The lecture is part of 草榴社区 Connections, a speaker series at Village Books that highlights 草榴社区 faculty and staff expertise.
