Illusion of nudity
Or maybe real nudity. The crazy kids in at Thornton Community College in Harvey, Illinois included this photograph in their yearbook for 1970. A nude or scantily-clad young lady protects her modesty by posing behind library shelves with carefully-placed books. I certainly hope you put all the books back where they were supposed to be, yearbook people!
Thanks, Craig Conley!
1974 Craigdarroch Streaking
Library Shenanigans has long prided itself on bringing you information about streaking in libraries. Herewith, two articles from the University of Victoria student paper, March 14, 1974, about streaking in the Craigdarroch College Library and elsewhere on campus:
The newspaper is available at the Internet Archive.
Thanks, Craig Conley / Professor Oddfellow!

Similarly, the cross country team at Grinnell College has an annual streak including the library (thanks, Catherine Rod!) and the Ultimate Frisbee Team streaks through the library every spring during finals at Oberlin College, too (thanks, Ed Vermue!).
