A broken pipe caused a flood that damaged more than 600 books at the Plymouth Public Library Sunday. The flood was discovered around 1 p.m. Sunday in the non-fiction section at the main branch on South Street, according to Dinah O'Brien, the town's director of community services. "We lost approximately 700 volumes. We are still working out the cost," O'Brien said. "As of now, the area is closed off. The collection is being moved, shelves taken down and carpet replaced. After the affected areas are cleaned up we will reinstall the shelves, restore the ceiling and carpets and put the collection back." O'Brien said the work should take about two weeks to complete.

Share your photos from the Blizzard of '13 (colloquially known as Nemo).
Waves hammered the coast, trees and utility poles snapped, and snow burried our cars. Then the kids went outside, and the lack of electricity and heat was forgotten for a little while as families built snow forts, made snowmen (and their families), went sledding, and had epic snowball fights. Through it all, you took pictures. Share them with Patch, we want to see what you'll remember about the Blizzard of 2013. We'll feature your photos on our Facebook page.
