These photos of Canterbury University Library in Christchurch are a librarian's (or patron's!) worst nightmare!

Very lucky it happened well outside working hours (0430h, Sat morning).

Perhaps when building libraries in earthquake zones they need to put (liftable?) railings across the front of each shelf, like on yachts?
