BOOM! BANG! RATTATTAAAATAAATAATATATTAAAA!
The library is under construction and deconstruction right now, and there are LOUD JACKHAMMERS and other machinery happening near my office, enough so that I spent part of the afternoon in earplugs.
And as I was leaving for the day, I discovered that the vibrations are LITERALLY shaking the books off the shelves!

And a book about to take the plunge:
I'd shut my computer off for the day, but took a detour into a colleague's office to ask them to email the circulation desk and let them know books were trying to make an escape. (I did turn the one standing on its pages so it was lying flat and wouldn't get any further damaged; I'm not TOTALLY lazy!)
But, well, I wasn't really expecting this!
