The Editor,

Re. “Burned library won’t dissuade supporters” (The Tri-City News, May 2).

The article about the recent vandalism to the little free library at Wellington Park in Port Coquitlam brought back bad memories.

It wasn’t long ago that I also shared the story of vandals burning the beautiful little gazebo in Citadel Park. After this disgusting act, they went further down the street and attacked two park benches.

It’s an absolute crime that we as respectable citizens have to face these attacks on taxpayers’ property that are put there for the general public to enjoy.

I only hope somebody catches them soon or that a responsible parent will read this and recognize the origin of these culprits.
