UConn Law Library Lawsuit

In an event that would seem like a nightmare to many librarians, suit has been filed by the State of Connecticut over “shoddy and substandard” construction work on the “new” UConn Law Library, a $24 million project, here is a outside picture the gothic styled library. The construction resulted in a new library with leaks, mold and a stone facade that had to be reattached after it became loose in places. Many librarians have had to deal with moldy books on occasion from a burst pipe or derelict patrons but think of having to deal with it on a daily basis like the librarians and staff at UConn Law. May we all hope that UConn’s problems are resolved soon and those of us who get new libraries won’t have similar issues. [BB]
