Because of the sexual nature of the hate crime and the fact that it was committed by the person who was supposed to safeguard the books I chose to do one with an erotic theme with a lock in the shape of a penis and the other is covered in eyes, symbolizing the nature of the guard’s job.

[Editor’s Note: The vandal was not a Library security guard.]
