Hazards of the Trade

In all my years as a librarian, I've always thought the library was a very safe place to work until this happened in our library this morning.




One of our librarians was shelving a book when the whole line of shelves gave way spilling the books on her. Luckily she suffered only a minor bruise on her right leg. Another good thing was that the other shelves did not domino as they were hit by the falling shelves otherwise it would have been a disaster as there are computer workstations occupied by students behind the shelves when the accident happened.

I am so glad as is all the library staff that I was nowhere near the area or I would have posed a bigger headache (am 7 mos. pregnant).
