Earthquake - Clean-up

Today I was able to start packing up the books into boxes. Thanks to Paul, Tania, Mrs Bourke (and her intern), Sharon and Mr Welsh who helped to stack many library books into boxes!  When I took these photos I didn't think the library was that badly damaged.  However, when I entered (wearing my official hard-hat), the floor would rise and full in parts, and there's few nice cracks.  Let's hope it's all up and running again in 10 weeks!
