Venomous spiders found at University of Michigan library prompt two-day shutdown
Fox News
The University of Michigan shut down a library building for two days after staff made a skin-crawling discovery of three venomous spiders in a basement storage area.
The library reopened Tuesday after being closed Sunday and treated Monday for spiders. The spiders were not found in any public spaces, university spokeswoman Kim Broekhuizen said in a statement. "A misunderstanding of the situation led the library to close for two days," Broekhuizen said in a statement. "Based on what we all know now, library managers agree that it was a mistake to close the building and they apologize for the inconvenience to the university community."More Related News
