Dracula Exhibit Coming Soon to the Library
The library opened today to find a giant yellow crate outside the front door, a fine mist spreading from the cracks and drifting with tendrils in the morning wind. The symbol of a dragon was drawn in crude fashion with a brown sticky paint. We brought it in.
Opening it revealed a large amount of soil. Several bones were spread among the dirt and a small note. The note read: "Here lies Dracula. Please display him properly."
Among the dirt we found a well preserved body of an older looking gentleman in a top hat and long coat, several display cases with artifacts, and a binder. The binder had comprehensive instructions on displaying the materials in a well unlit, cool area.
We asked the staff at the morning huddle, and the reference librarian slapped their head, saying, "That must be the traveling Romanian exhibit Marcy signed up for, hell, I dunno, a year ago. Before she mysteriously disappeared on that trip to Europe. You remember, she phoned and said 'I've decided to stay with a charming man in a castle. He would like to visit and will send a display. Don't send help or anything. I'm cool.' Then we never heard from her again and had to do that whole hiring thing."
Several staff members said, "Oh, yeah."
Please feel free to visit the traveling exhibit once it has been set up. We anticipate next week.
