What some Hammond residents thought was an act of vandalism on their neighbourhood’s little library turned out to be an accident.
Residents in Hammond woke up Saturday to finding their neighbourhood’s little library broken and knocked over, according to posts on social media. The lid was also broken.
A motorist has since come forward, admitting to have backed into the library by mistake and is now repairing the library, the owner has confirmed.
