MONROE - School is not out of session, but the Monroe High School library is.
Monroe police are investigating vandalism to the Monroe High School library which took place between 11:30 p.m. Thursday and 7:15 a.m. Friday.
Principal Mark Burandt said a teacher discovered damage to the library around 7:15 a.m. Friday. Burandt said the damage happened after 11:30 p.m. Thursday as that is when a maintenance person completed work for the night.
Burandt would not elaborate on specific damage to the library, but Jennifer Thayer, who oversees the district's learning media centers and libraries, said books were on the floor in piles.
"I'm disappointed and frustrated, not necessarily at any one thing, but that anyone would do this to a public building," Burandt said.
Burandt said students will not be allowed in the library for the rest of the school year, which ends Tuesday.
