The ever-glorious Reference Room turned off its overhead lighting yesterday, leaving only desk lamps to sustain the loyal inhabitants. How or why the lights went out remains unclear, but the asian gloves-wearing circulation desk guy popped in and fixed it around 10 pm. The lights humorously went out again about an hour later, and they remain off through Sunday morning—still to be fixed. The same mood lighting occurred last year during Thanksgiving break.

UPDATE: And by noon the lights are back on without an apparent cause. Ghosts?

UPDATE 2: 1:05, and they are out again. These results are consistent with the Ghost hypothesis.

UPDATE 3: 1:11 Lights are on.

UPDATE 4: Lights are reported to be back off.

What's wrong with adding a little coziness and reduced eye strain to studying?
