A mountain in New Zealand is about to become a 'person', after a bill was passed in the country's parliament this week.

While finding old books in a library might not be a surprise, what was found tucked in amongst them has cause a bit of shock.

People working at Cambridge University Library found a chocolate bar wrapper which is at least 50 years old amongst the shelves.

Once upon a time it contained a Crunchie bar, but not as we know it.

Not only did the library-snacker think it was OK to eat in the library, it also seems like they didn't care about being quiet either - there are quieter bars after all!

But don't worry, the hunt is on to find the culprit!
