[4:55am, phone call from my assistant]
“Hi. Thought you’d want to know. The library’s on fire – we heard it on the scanner and I could see the glow from the bridge.”
ETA: Our 1905 building is now a stone shell… nothing else remains. We think there was a lightning strike early this morning.
Venn Librarian
