ANU is replacing books lost when the J B Chifley Library was hit by floodwater a year back. Over 1000 donated books are already in and the gifts keep coming. So, does the water. Chifley had to close at the start of February when the roof leaked in a storm and a week later when burst pipes made tiled floors too slippery. The university’s Menzies Library also had storm-water damage, as did the ANU archive.
