Once the card was approved, the man checked out 50 books on topics that included Jewish history, African-American history and LGBTQ education.

The following day, CCPL heard from the Princeton University Bridging Divides Initiative (PUBDI), a group that monitors and reports suspected hate crimes on social media.

PUBDI informed CCPL that the man had posted a photo to a social media site April 3 that showed a car trunk full of books, with a caption relating to “cleansing” the libraries
