"I walked by the copy machines and there was money all over the floor," said Julene Sodt, a full-time, librarian at Haggard Hall. "I didn't even notice the damage was in the back of the coin collectors." Doughty said the UP believes someone hid in the library after closing. No forced entry was apparent. "It's really easy to hide out in a big library like that," Doughty said. Whatcom Community College had a similar break-in Friday night. Copy machines in-the new student center were vandalized and then robbed in a manner similar to those in Haggard Hall, Bellingham Police Lt. Dae Jamison said.
