A new problem has arisen as the overhaul of the Indiana Free Library and Community Center building continues.
Indiana Borough Manager C. Michael Foote confirmed Friday that boxes of books moved from one room to another at the library have caused floor supports, or joists, to crack.
Though he could say “a lot of boxes of books” were moved, he did not have a specific figure on how many books, nor how much the floor sank because of the cracked joists.
