Your local library

Do you have any personal horror stories about your library?

there's an old guy that goes to mine every day to use the computers to trawl underaged girls Facebook photos and watch mass services; it makes me wonder if he's unwelcome at all the local churches for being a hyper-paedo (which, given that this is a predominately catholic city is saying something)

>Go to main branch library (think is like 7 or 8 levels fucking huge
>10 minutes to closing there is some faggot walking around in a black ceremonial cloak with a hood and a couple HP Lovecraft books
>We have reached new autistic heights

No. Other than the fact that everyone is fine with everyone else not shutting the fuck up.

>I was in the library a month ago
>No one in the room but library personel
>Finishing Cortazar stories, still an hour left until they close
>Intrigued about the bald girls waving at a lone man in the train
>Night outside
>Instantainously and without warning all lights turn off
>Trembling sound of elevator coming down accompanied by white fainting light
>Elevator stops
>JustWhatTheFuck?
>Elevator opens
>Strangely no one is inside
>There it in the floor lied a book instead

>In library a month ago
>No one in the room except me and library staff
>Finishing Cortazar stories
>Intrigued by the bald girls story
>Notlikingthisone.jpeg
>Instantly and without warning all lights go out
>Turn around
>Elevator starts coming down in the middle of the blackness
>Joining the madness I go to the elevator
>Elevator stops and opens in front of me
>Surprisingly is empty, well, almost empty
>The floor was crowned by a big blue and yellow book

I never go out

libraryfags are pretty chill

barns and noble on the other hand though...

He rang to complain about me, I explained to my boss and he agreed that he was a psycho and nothing happened after that. Sincerely hope that guy is dead now.
