Fast action saves University library contents

Anonymous Patron writes Yet Another Flooded Library Story! When will they learn, water and paper just don’t mix. Most contents of the University of New Mexico’s second largest library have been saved from water damage.
Water pipes in the Centennial Science and Engineering Library burst some time in December. The leak was noticed on Christmas Eve.

Library director Johann van Reenan says university employees and a water evacuation company were able to save most of the books, maps and periodicals.”
