Thousands of library books some of them rare are in cold storage after a sprinkler pipe burst on the University of Alaska Southeast’s Ketchikan campus. College librarians are going to great lengths to salvage items from the collection.
Freezing temperatures in Ketchikan brought the mercury down to single digits at night and in the 20s during the day in Ketchikan in early February. That’s thought to have caused a pipe to burst on the top floor of U-A-S’s Ziegler building, with water flooding down to the second floor that houses the library and Student Center, says campus business manager Chris Hoyt.
