ROYAL OAK, Mich. (AP) — A popular suburban Detroit library reopened Monday after someone had returned more than a movie over the weekend.
The library in Royal Oak said it was closed Sunday after staff members encountered creepy crawlies when a DVD case in the drop box was opened.
A pest control company investigated and found no more insects, the library said.
“The photos we shared showed that it was a cockroach. We are clear,” the library said on Facebook.
Library director Sandy Irwin offered a bit of humor from the stacks.
“I’m a librarian, not a pest control professional,” Irwin told the Detroit Free Press, “but I will look up 1,000 types of bugs.”
