Books Drown In Washington

A Sad Story from Washington, where thousands of books are being dumped at Breidablik Elementary in Poulsbo as a result of a small fire in a reptile cage.

The fire started overnight and was quickly extinguished by an automatic sprinkler system, but, as the old saying goes, books and water don’t mix.

A former school librarian Jan Johnson called it every librarian’s, every parent’s, worst nightmare “They look at the books and say… gee that was my favorite book. We can’t throw that one away. Can’t we save that one, because they remember all the stories.”


Don’t worry though, The two bearded dragons, Kevin and Ishtar are just fine.
