MULE
(ST. CHARLES, Mo., AP) — Six-year-old Reese Short wanted to offer a free library in her neighborhood, but her effort ended when someone apparently stole the library from the porch of her family’s home in St. Charles.
Reese’s mother, Beka Short, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1J5KNGd) that her daughter worked on the project for the past few months. The concept was simple. Friends and neighbors could take a book to keep or return, or add books to share with neighbors.
The library launched a couple of weeks ago. On Monday, it was taken.
Beka Short says a neighbor saw a woman pull up, load the library of about 30 books into her car and drive off. The thief also took a cabinet that Reese had painted herself.
Police are investigating.
