Batley Library, in Batley, West Yorkshire, had customers rush through their doors for their £1 book sale on Friday and Saturday. But the event was 'sabotaged,' a volunteer has said.

A library's fill-a-bag book sale was 'sabotaged' by 'misinformed Facebookers' who took dozens of books from the shelves - as well as Lego.

Steve McGrath, a volunteer who was managing the event, posted on the public Facebook group, Batley Matters to discuss the matter. 'The people who decimated the Children's library, Adult Fiction, Graphic Novels and Cookery sections of books, have actively stolen Kirklees libraries stock. 'The Friends of Batley Library, not Kirklees Libraries never said that this was the case but people took it upon themselves to help themselves.'I've lost my faith in humanity slightly today. I try to do as much as I can for this wider community and although, I have been ridiculed by work professionals for my passion, I still dedicate myself to providing positive experiences for the generations.

The event was 'sabotaged' by people 'filling their bags,' a volunteer for Friends of Batley Library has said. Pictured: Batley Library They also said that the library team at Batley are undertaking an inventory of stock to establish how many books were taken.
