BOOKS SAVED IN IOWA FLOODS

Iowa City, Ia. — In all the statewide stories of heroism, it would be hard to find more passion than in the snaking line going up the steps of the Main Library at the University of Iowa on the banks of the flooding Iowa River.Hand over hand; all man's ideas were handed. Philosophy and theatre, science and religion. Books rising from the basement to a higher level.

Great story from the Des Moignes Register online.
