Wish I’d known BEFORE I went to the library this afternoon. My neighbors pipe burst this afternoon. Just when everything starts to melt the pressure builds and there goes your pipes!

This is the third time in the same location that the pipes has burst. The roof of this entrance is exposed to elements. Poor design, poor renovation.

Whoa! Does that mean the books were getting drenched too?

No damage to the books, thankfully! The flooding was almost all in the new parts of the building, which are public and staff space rather than shelving.
