Published February 3, 2012 5:00am ET



The D.C. Public Library shelled out nearly $900 to clean up the aftermath of a deer crashing through a window and into a library in Southwest Washington this week, the system’s spokesman said Friday.

George Williams said the library paid $893.44 to restore the Washington Highlands Interim Library after a deer bolted through a window shortly after noon on Tuesday. The deer broke its jaw, and animal control officers later euthanized the animal.
