The last time I drove through Boise, I noticed the exclamation point after "library."  And instantly screamed "LIBRARY!"  Luckily, I didn't completely scare the person driving the car and we were off to our destination.  But maybe the exclamation point has a deeper meaning?  Like things get intense here at the Boise Library, well they did at least for a 74-year old women.  I'll fill you in after the jump.

It all started back in 2009:

The books which were smothered with things like maple syrup started appearing the in the drop-box for the library back in 2009 and only recently has the woman responsible been brought to justice. The culprit is Joy Cassidy who is 75 years old.

How can a sweet little old lady named Joy be responsible for this?  I'm thinking this sounds like the work of middle preschoolers. But...

She pleaded guilty on Friday to malicious injury to property because of the 10 different incident of book-dropping which totaled $1,000 in damages.

She's guilty so to jail she goes:

The Idaho judge which Cassidy went in front of sentenced her to exactly one month in jail and also to have absolutely no contact with any Boise libraries for a period of no less than two years.

Now what brought this on you say?

Police say that the woman started dumping condiments into the books because of conflicts she had with the library’s staff as well as certain patrons there.

In short, don't piss off a women with access to maple syrup.  Just don't waist mustard on books, pour it straight into my mouth.
