A black bear enters a California library and takes honey on the same day Winnie-the-Pooh turns 100. Footage and reports describe the bear coming into the Mammoth Lakes Library, located in Mammoth Lakes, before the library opens to the public.
Outlets report that the bear heads straight for food stored for staff, including honey, and some mention peanut butter as well. One account notes the bear rummages through staff snack supplies, while another says staff were not present at the time. The library director is quoted as acknowledging the coincidence with the Pooh centennial. Reports agree the incident causes no damage to the library.
The coverage focuses on the unusual timing and lighthearted nature of the bear’s actions, with outlets varying on the specific items taken but aligning on where it happened, what the bear sought, and that the library remains intact.
