Library assesses threat to books

Three Monday-morning fires and the water from automatic sprinklers that put them out caused enough damage to keep the popular Missouri Library shut down for a week.

Police and fire officials still have not identified a suspect in what is being investigated as a forced entry and arson.

Annie Busch, executive director of the Springfield-Greene County Library District, is urging members of the community to come forward if they have any information to aid the investigation.
