Date: 2025-06-02 05:18 pm (UTC)YEESH! I do some interlibrary loan transactions with them. Sigh. No, basement or lower libraries is not a good idea. The worst that I knew about was Phoenix Public, their main branch. They had a monsoon one yearn and a major thunderclap, and the rattling set off the fire suppression system. It trashed the upper floors and did major damage, huge number of books lost. Closed the building for a couple of years: they replaced the entire sprinkler system as it had rusted out - it was a dry system, no water in the pipes until use, and when it activated, turns out the moisture that had accumulated had eaten through the piping in a very uncontrolled way.
