### Bugged Out: Michigan Library Closes After Unwanted Guests Emerge from DVD Case
In a plot twist that no one saw coming, a suburban Detroit library decided to take an impromptu holiday after a returned DVD case turned out to be a new home for a thriving bug community. The library staff, apparently not prepared for such an unexpected “insect invasion,” locked its doors Monday morning as movie lovers gasped in disbelief.
At around 9 AM, an unsuspecting librarian opened the return bin to unveil an infestation that would make even the bravest of entomologists cringe. Instead of a humble, returned copy of *Casablanca,* the librarian was greeted by what can only be described as a family reunion for a horde of bugs who had clearly made the DVD’s case their summer vacation destination. One can only assume they had been binge-watching *A Bug’s Life* on repeat.
Photographs taken at the scene showed a winding carpet of bugs spilling from the case as it was placed on the front desk. Eyewitness reports claim that a few brave patrons attempted to rescue the DVD but were overwhelmed by what appeared to be a German cockroach reunion. Inspired by the audacity of such uninvited guests, the librarian quickly declared the library a “bug free zone” and enforced an early closing prior to the grand reveal of the critters.
As news of the closure spread, casual patrons took to social media to express their shock and awe, while surely some others just had to cleverly comment about how they always suspected the library had a few creepy crawlers lurking in the non-fiction section. “I thought the only thing that came with a late fee was an overdue book. Turns out, I was wrong! Who knew I could also return a few extra guests?” quipped local resident, Joan Nott.
Library spokesperson, Karen D. Off, held a press conference explaining the situation: “We take pride in our collection of DVDs, but it seems our patrons might be interested in expanding their collection to the insect kingdom. Look at the bright side – at least they returned it. Imagine the horror if they had decided to keep it for a few more weeks, giving those bugs time to breed!”
Experts have weighed in on the significance of this unusual occurrence, suggesting the bugs may just be a symptom of the library’s overall “bug-laden” atmosphere. “In most cases, libraries are a haven for dust bunnies,” noted Dr. A. Pest. “But this is definitely next level. I’ve seen books get neglected for years, but this is a new theory in library science—repudiating DVDs as pest habitats!”
Nonetheless, the local community rallied, taking it upon themselves to ensure the beloved library doesn’t remain forever closed. A “Save Our Library” fundraiser is already being planned, and they’ve gone viral with slogans like “No Bugs, Just Books” and “A DVD a Day Keeps the Bugs Away.”
With most of the bugs safely relocated to a nearby park, the library hopes to reopen by the end of the week. Meanwhile, local high school students are expected to launch a new program where they stock DVDs with bug-proof cases, just in case repeat offenders decide to invade again. All hail the Great DVD Bug Mystery of suburban Detroit—epic saga worthy of a summer blockbuster!
