"We will have snacks. Snacks is what we will have," the post reads. "Not to say we have anything against snakes. In fact, snakes will be at the library in May during the Teen De-Stressing Day: Reptile Hangout."

ATTENTION - there will be no snakes at this Friday's Anti Prom at the library. There was a typo in a local paper that said we will have snakes. We will have snacks. Snacks is what we will have. Not...

The post has gone viral, making the rounds on Reddit and Twitter. It also has over 3,000 reactions on Facebook.

The Teen Anti Prom is an event intended to allow young people to "dance (or not) the night away, no matter your sexuality, gender identity, beliefs, or any other reason." According to the Facebook event page, the anti prom will be fairy tale-themed and feature a DJ, a mini Instax photo booth and free snacks (not snakes).

The "Teen De-Stressing Day: Reptile Hangout" on May 22, however, will be an event where young people can take a break from studying for finals by coloring, fusing beads and hanging out with live reptiles – including snakes.
