Calgary police are investigating a series of hate-motivated incidents in the community of Cedarbrae that saw a Little Free Library location repeatedly vandalised.
The first incident happened on April 10, when the owners of a home in the 3000 block of Cedarille Drive S.W. found white supremacy stickers on the Little Free Library on their private property.
They removed them, but found the book-sharing box once again covered with hate-motivated stickers – and derogatory terms – on April 15.
The same library was vandalised a third time on April 20, this time with stickers, derogatory terms and white supremacy language.
Calgary police say they have reason to believe the library was specifically targeted.
"Hate-motivated vandalism, especially on private property, has a significant impact on both the victims and the community as a whole," said Const. Matt Messenger.
"Nobody should have to tolerate or be subjected to hate."
