Just Hanging Around

Excitement comes in all shapes and sizes, and the other day at the library, it was about 3-4" long and hanging from the ceiling.

Somehow a bat had found its way into the Fowlerville Library . . . no doubt looking for a spooky, hair-raising Halloween story. But what he found was a lot of chatter and anxiousness.

And all at his expense, as it turned out.

While he quietly hung from the ceiling figuring out what book to check out, a couple fireman, a policeman, and 2 village employees gathered around him. Everybody else seemed to be standing quite a ways back waiting to see what happened.

But lucky for all, the bat included, he wiggled his way into a brown paper bag held up so nicely by one of the fireman and he went for a trip out the door, down the sidewalk, out to the road, and was allowed to go on his merry way. All of this to the grateful applause of the patrons.

And, once again, peace and quiet reigned both inside and outside. But for just a little while, Halloween fun had visited the Library . . . even if it was a week too early.
