Water Leak: Hesburgh Library Lower Level
Recently a bit of water from cleaning equipment on the first floor of the library made its way through a crack in the floor over the political science reference collection in the lower level. Fortunately the leak was identified early by shelving staff, who quickly draped plastic sheeting over the impacted shelvesing to contain the damage. Of the forty-six affected books, thirty-two were only minimally impacted and able to be wiped dry with a cloth while the remaining fourteen suffered significant water damage that required drying treatments. Several books were fanned open to dry while others were interleaved with absorbent sheets and placed under weights to speed drying. The wettest books benefited significantly from interleaving with Zorbix sheets, a commercially available product that is reusable, highly absorbent, and quick drying.

I had a great time today teaching for @ischool.learninghub. We saved a stack of books from the water disaster. I look forward to teaching book repair for them next month. #waterdisaster #librarypreservation #disasterresponse #bookconservation #bookpreservation (at Learning Hub, Faculty of Information, University of Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuqNEPJnhU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

World Civil Defence Day, observed annually on March 1st, highlights the importance of civil protection and emergency preparedness worldwide. This day serves as a reminder of the crucial role played by civil defence organizations, agencies, and personnel in ensuring the safety and well-being of communities in times of crises and disasters.
Civil defence encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at preventing and mitigating the impact of natural and man-made disasters, including earthquakes, floods, wildfires, pandemics, terrorist attacks, and industrial accidents. These efforts involve emergency response, disaster preparedness, risk reduction, public awareness campaigns, and community resilience building.

Today I gave the TA at @ischool.learninghub a heart attack when I threw books into tubs of water for our emergency response and recovery workshop this weekend. Let’s hope I don’t make any of the students cry. We’ll save all the books we can. #bookconservation #bookrecovery #disasterresponse #librarypreservation #savethebooks (at Learning Hub, Faculty of Information, University of Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnp7Qo0r7vd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
