(Valley City, ND) -- Police are investigating controversial flyers about a book in the collection of the Valley City Barnes County Public Library.

The president of the board of directors says authorized graphic images from the book were distributed on the flyer claiming the flyer was created by the library.

The flyers came from an unknown source and had no connection to the library.

A group of citizens had asked the library director and the board of directors to remove the book from the library circulation because of graphic images and what the group called a controversial message it portrays about human sexuality.
