- John Turner introduced his presentation: “We begin with minor crimes against libraries --misdemeanors --and later move on to felonies and capital crimes.” Dr. Turner discusses the misdemeanors including underlining in books, not checking out books taken home, and delays in returning books. Major crimes occurred in ancient and in present day wars. Turner also discusses collections destroyed today and throughout history by competing religions and people holding different political views.
