From Times Staff and Wire Reports
San Francisco’s 71-year-old, earthquake-damaged library was set to reopen with its entire 170,000-volume collection jammed in the former literature department on the second floor. Thousands of books were knocked off shelves by the Oct. 17 quake, which damaged the library’s seven-story north wing. Librarians removed chairs and tables and doubled shelf space in the literature department to house the collection.
