Mansfield Library on University of Montana campus had to close suddenly after burst pipes and flooding throughout the building.

Students were notified via a campus-wide email which referenced flooding on "all levels of the building," with the flooding on the fourth floor being the most significant. It does mention that there appears to be minimal damage to the library's large collections of textbooks and archives.

The college is currently undergoing tests to make sure there are no hazards in the library, and repairs are already underway. They say the library will be closed until at least Tuesday afternoon.
