Vandals who set fire to a collection of gay and lesbian literature

Police are looking for vandals who set fire to a collection of gay and lesbian literature at a North Side library, WGN-TV reported.

The fire was set Tuesday at a Chicago Public Library branch near Belmont Avenue and Sheridan Road, according to WGN.

Library workers spotted the fire and were able to put it out, but not before roughly 100 books were destroyed, according to WGN.

Library officials don't know the dollar value of the books, but told WGN that all of them will be replaced.
