\"archives_nov2\"<\/a>HAPPY HALLOWEEN LOGGERS!!! We here at Collins hope you had a fang-tastic holiday!<\/p>\n

Now, the Archives & Special Collections is not known for being a spooky place, but perhaps it should be. Little do people know, among the dusty old books and cobwebbed shelves (just kidding, but seriously, we need more visitors) lurks a mystery that has yet to be solved. Deep in the Shelmidine room lies a chest, and not your ordinary chest. This chest is human-sized, extremely heavy, and has yet to be opened. The last time the contents of this monstrous beast saw the light of day remains a complete mystery to all of us, along with how it was sealed so impossibly well, and the weight of it proves it is NOT empty. We here in the Archives & Special Collections have all had a hand in trying to break the seal, but it has proven to be a real pain in the neck. Us librarians are known for being a cautious type, and so we\u2019ve taken the necessary precautions to protect our dear books (and blood) from the potential dangers that lurk within.<\/p>\n

That being said, if you\u2019re short on candy this year I am here to supply you with a stash of Halloween treats that are sure to get under your trick-or-treaters\u2019 skin! Tell some of these and you\u2019re guaranteed not to get any boos from your audience! Have a spooktacular Halloween!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a vampire\u2019s favorite fruit?
\n<\/strong>A neck-tarine!<\/p>\n

What do you get if you divide a pumpkin\u2019s circumference by its diameter?
\n<\/strong>Pumpkin Pi!<\/p>\n

How do monsters know what the future holds for them?

The Archives & Special Collections<\/a> is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 12:00-3:00 p.m. or by appointment.<\/p>\n
