New Year’s Day Flooding in Clackamas County Library

A flood caused by a New Year’s Day storm destroyed thousands of books at the library in Estacada, OR on Friday.

“Everything on bottom shelves is gone,” said library director Katinka Bryk.

The town is in Clackamas County, where the rains were heavy and Gov. Ted Kulongoski declared a state of emergency.
