Thank goodness no one was hurt. Libraries do have sounds of their own which you get used to.

I haunted the BioMed library at ZuCLA when I was in graduate school there. The stacks are indeed s world unto themselves!

There were reported sounds and sightings of a lady ghost at our library, but I never got to see or hear her. [Disappointed sigh]

One evening at closing when we checked the restrooms there was a man who had died sitting on the toilet in a stall. Accrding to the coroner he had died soon after we had opened that morning. And people think libraries are such mellow places to work.

ah Elaine, I’m with you. I remember the story line but can’t remember the title. Movies and related trivia don’t stick with me well.

Dad is an astronaut, comes back from the the future to warn her through the bookcase. Who knows???

Every night at closing time, the elevator does a weird thing–some thumping and settling. We have learned to ignore it, which makes me wonder what we’ll have to ignore next. I’m pretty sure library ghosts are real.
