Shaggy is terrified of the ghost of a librarian over an overdue library book.

Thoughts, Details, Recap

On a rainy day, the gang hangs out in their tree house. Daphne makes a judgmental comment about Shaggy and Scooby's comic book. There's a knock at the door. Mrs. Shusham, the ghost of the local librarian, comes in demanding her book. 

What it reminds me of: Archie's Weird Mysteries - The Haunt of Riverdale - November 6, 1999

Shaggy recounts the story of the lost book, Pizza Parrot meets the Butterbean Bunnies. A book the ghost left behind leads them to Bernice Binders Used Books. Bernice Binder tells them the librarian ghost had previously visited her book shop looking for the book. 

The gang goes to the closed library to investigate. There they meet Rona Lickton who holds a grudge against Shaggy and Scooby for ruining her stamp collection. Because of Shaggy, the library closed (I don't understand how that was Shaggy's fault.) and Rhona held her stamp club meeting outside. They get inside and Shaggy declares he knows who did it. Then the ghost attacks.

Shaggy and Scooby unmask the ghost to reveal Bernice Binder. She wanted the book because it was really valuable. Although the fact that Scooby buried it means the book is worthless.

Shaggy and Scooby develop an appreciation of cooking from the cookbooks at the new library.
