Royal Oak Library reopens after cockroach in DVD case caused temporary closure
ROYAL OAK, Mich. (FOX 2) - The Royal Oak Public Library reopened Monday afternoon after a cockroach in a DVD case led to it being closed over the weekend.
The library closed Saturday after staff said they found bugs in a DVD case that was placed in an outdoor drop box sometime Friday night into Saturday morning. Library director Sandy Irwin said staff caught a bug that came out of the case and took a photo of it. A pest control company identified the roach via that photo.
After spotting bugs, all materials that were in the drop boxes were bagged and put into a garage until an exterminator could check them.
The pest control company inspected other materials that were in the drop box, the boxes, and the rest of the library. No other bugs or evidence of an infestation was found.
"We receive monthly pest inspections of the building, so you should not have any worries about coming to the library," the library said in the post.
