How do you announce the closing of your library? Do you have student assistants or staff or security staff alert people that it's time to get shakin'? Perhaps there is an announcement on the PA system reminding people that in <n> minutes they will turn into library pumpkins.
Here's another thought. Instead of making an unadorned announcement on the PA system, preface it with some appropriate music, for example, you could play Tonight from West Side Story and after the opening, Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night, you then announce, "But we are closing in 15 minutes anyway;" or instead of having your student assistants walk through the building, they could be humming (or singing), Good night patrons, good night patrons, good night patrons, the library is closing now!
Silly? You bet. But also a little fun detour off the beaten path.
