Cockroach Discovery Closes Detroit-Area Library

A popular library in Royal Oak, Michigan, resumed operations on Monday following a temporary closure due to an unusual incident. Staff discovered cockroaches inside a DVD case that had been returned over the weekend, prompting an investigation. No additional insects were found, allowing the library to reopen.

A pest control company was brought in to assess the situation and confirmed that the facility was clear of any further infestations. "The photos we shared showed that it was a cockroach. We are clear," the library reassured residents via Facebook. Library director Sandy Irwin lightheartedly commented on the incident, telling the Detroit Free Press, "I'm a librarian, not a pest control professional, but I will look up 1,000 types of bugs."
