"Unraveling the Chaos: A Vintage Library Shelf Catastrophe Captured in a Photo"

A vintage photo from 1971 shows the aftermath of a library shelf catastrophe at the Lorain Ohio Public Library, where one shelf fell, causing a domino effect that resulted in 50,000 books scattered on the floor. The photo captures the increasing panic of the librarian as each shelf collapsed. Despite the chaos, the people in the photo maintain a good attitude. The cleanup process and the time it took to restore order remain unknown.
