Raccoons Occupy a College Library

Codie Clark, a math tutor, spotted two raccoons inside the library of the Arkansas State University. Employees trapped the raccoons, then animal rescue workers released them into the wild that night.

Associate Vice Chancellor for Marketing and Communications Bill Smith says that recent flooding near the campus has driven wildlife out of their usual habitats. "They weren't just looking for higher ground; they were looking for higher learning, as well."
