“It's absolutely fantastic that as a citizen, you come into an empty library and treat it so lovingly.”

Librarian’s remark after Göteborg Main Library was accidentally left unlocked at Halloween and 400 people wandered in. ‘People sat reading newspapers. There were families in the children's section and people looking books up in the database. 200 books were borrowed and nothing was damaged.’

Thanks to @mrsostberg for sharing this. Am sharing in English as it’s so nice.

An oddly similar thing happened in New Zealand a while back. Was this latest incident as accidental as they claim or are librarians trying to sneakily civilize us??? 🤣
