An Austin area library has taken to social media to dispel rumors after a local paper allegedly mistakenly reported snakes would be present at the next event.

The Pflugerville Library in Austin said snacks, not snakes, will be at the upcoming April 12 event "Anti Prom," according to a Facebook post from the library.

"There was a typo in a local paper that said we will have snakes. We will have snacks. Snacks is what we will have," the library wrote in the post, which has reached 2,000 people as of Tuesday afternoon.

The hilarious mishap was shared on Twitter shortly after, with that post reaching nearly 8,000 people.

The library clarified it does "not have anything against snakes," though. The library actually will have snakes at another event set for May: Teen De-Stressing Day: Reptile Hangout.
