We had a little "incident" at the UGA Map Library this week--an
underage
drinker was speeding down South Milledge Ave in the wee hours of the
a.m.,
and, well ... didn't see that the road had run out. Unfortunately, our
map
collection lives at the end of said road. Bricks were propelled the
full
length of the (very large) room from the impact, so it's beyond good
that it
happened after hours and no staff or patrons were in the facility. The
collection suffered very little damage at all, and cleanup efforts are
well
underway. These images show damage that's not even remotely analogous
to
that at our fellow institutions after last year's hurricanes, but
they're
still disturbing enough.

(The first page was obviously named by someone with a slightly twisted
sense
of humor!)

Just when you thought you were safe sitting at a map table ...
