2 men charged in massive library theft

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that two men have been charged in one of the largest library thefts in history.

The Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office charged Greg Priore, the library’s archivist and manager of the rare-book room, and John Schulman, an antiquarian bookseller, with several crimes including theft, receiving stolen property, forgery, and more.
