Black Bear Enters California Library, Steals Honey on Winnie-the-Pooh's 100th Anniversary
On October 14, the 100th anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh's first publication, a black bear entered the Mammoth Lakes Library in California before opening hours. The bear helped itself to staff snacks including peanut butter, peach cups, cookies, and a jar of honey, then explored the library before leaving. The library reported no damage to books or shelves. The incident was shared via surveillance footage and noted as an amusing coincidence with the beloved honey-loving character's centenary.
