• Thieves steal DVDs from public libraries in Macomb County and sell them to pawn shops.

• A candidate for a spot on the Lapeer District Library Board was denied a spot even though he was the only candidate running. He also not coincidentally happens to be gay. One of the county commissioners, a Democrat from Columbiaville, cracked during a public meeting to consider his candidacy that the man applying for the job (his first name is Gale) wasn’t really a man.
