Michigan library closed when bugs crawl out of returned DVD case
Published in Weird News
(UPI) A suburban Detroit library was closed Monday morning after a DVD case in a return bin was found to be filled with stowaway bugs.
The Royal Oak Public Library said on social media that the library was closed Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning after multiple insects were found inside a DVD case dropped into a book return bin.
"The DVD was returned sometime after we closed on Friday and before we opened on Saturday, so nothing prior to that would have been affected," the post said. The book drops were immediately locked and all items that were in those book drops were bagged up and isolated in our garage.
A follow-up post Monday said the facility had been given the all-clear by a pest control company and would reopen at 1 p.m.
The company identified the insects in the DVD case as cockroaches.
"We receive monthly pest inspections of the building, so you should not have any worries about coming to the library," the post said.
