A man accused of failing to return more than 700 children’s books to five different libraries in the county was released（释放）from prison after a book publisher agreed to post his bond (保释金) 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.”

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.
