| A man accused of failing to return more than 700
children’s books to five different libraries in the county was released
from jail yesterday after a book publisher agreed to post his bond of
$1,000. The publisher said, “There’s a story here. This is a man who
loves books. He just can’t let go of them. He hasn’t stolen a single
book. So what’s the crime? We think that Mr. Barush has a story to tell.
We plan to publish his story.”

said, “Well, how could I? They became family to me. I was afraid to
return them, because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these
books and chew them up, throw them around, rip the pages, spill soda on
them, get jam and jelly on them, and drown them in the toilet.”
He continued, “Books are people, too! They talk to you, they take care
of you, and they enrich you with wisdom and humor and love. A book is my
guest in my home. How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages. I
dusted them with a soft clean cloth. I turned their pages so they could
breathe and get some fresh air.
“Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new
friends. My books were HAPPY books. You could tell just by looking at
them. Now they’re all back in the library, on the lower shelves, on the
floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids. I can hear them
calling me! I need to rescue them. Excuse me. I have to go now |
