For their latest prank, New York based troupe Improv Everywhere<\/a><\/strong> have re-enacted a scene from Ghostbusters<\/a> at the New York Public Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the New York Times<\/a> the library approached Improv Everywhere to stage the scene in order to raise awareness about its Don\u2019t Close the Book<\/a> campaign, as the library is facing budget cuts of around $37 million.<\/p>\n

The group have a detailed behind-the-scenes report<\/a> on how they prepared and executed it all.<\/p>\n

Fans of the original film will note that the 1984 comedy features the library in its opening scenes:<\/p>\n
