BRUNSWICK — Jeoff Feiss, of Harpswell, may have been hoping for a little enlightenment about Jewish-American life when he checked out Herman Wouk’s “Inside Outside” from Brunswick’s Curtis Memorial Library. But when he opened the novel, he found something he called disturbing.

An unknown person had left inserts resembling counterfeit bills featuring New Testament Bible passages that Feiss, who is Jewish on his father’s side, said “felt very invasive and downright creepy.”

“Someone very intentionally wanted to confront the reader with a message,” Feiss said.

Library officials contacted police last week after more than 90 bills were found in five books written by Jewish authors.
