Meet Phoebe Anne Ridgway Rush, our resident ghost. Phoebe first haunted the stacks of our Ridgway building - named for her family, and built with her fortune, which was bequeathed by her husband, James Rush, after her death. Both James and Phoebe’s remains rested in the foundation of the Ridgway Building, and when the LCP moved to its current home, their remains moved with us. Some say Phoebe rests peacefully now, but if the stacks are rearranged with no explanation, we know who is responsible. #librariesarethespiceoflifeordeath #LCPinsider
