The Merry Librarian

Once again, our Story of the Week is just another reminder as to the importance of security guards in public libraries. But even with the best security guards, the occasional kook gets by. Enjoy this story, and be sure to submit your own stories! The Merry Librarian is always on the lookout for the strange, outrageous, hilarious, heartbreaking, foul and zany true stories from your library!

“I am the archives assistant for the Southwestern Writers Collection at Texas State University-San Marcos and one day I spotted a young man walking down the hallway on the 7th floor with a green plaid bathrobe on.  it was finals and we see a lot of students in pjs so I didn’t pay too much mind to it at the time.  Not long afterwards, I went to the ladies.  I had entered the stall when I heard someone enter the restroom.  As soon as I sat down, a pair of very hairy legs with a green plaid bathrobe was in the stall next to me.  I finished as quickly as possible and called security.”
