Library Cart Tackles 801lbs.

After transporting over 2 tons of library books since July, the Library Cart has seen its last load after both tires popped late last night. Some claim its frame became bent beyond recognition.

Reports are that the Cart had exceeded it 800lb. capacity.

Mr. Fitz stated "That Cart should have been a little more responsible...and responsibility is part of our honor code. It knew it wasn't supposed to carry more than 800 pounds."

The Library Cart moved almost 5000 books from Messing Library to storage, where they will wait to be donated to area schools. It participated in the renovation of Messing Library and was essential to the 8th grade football service project in early August.
