Baby injured when library door shatters in Norfolk

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 15:38 · Archive

A 16-month-old baby was injured when a glass door shattered at Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library in Norwich.

A 16-month-old baby was injured when a glass door shattered at the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library in The Forum on Wednesday morning around 10am. The door broke as a staff member was unlocking and opening the ground floor entrance, with glass pieces falling into the baby's pram as the mother waited outside.

The baby's mother, Olivia Taylor, 34, said her daughter was left covered in glass and sustained a cut on her stomach. She said the incident was a shock but that it could have been worse because the glass was safety glass. A staff member was also left with minor cuts, according to Anne Tidd, the library's manager.

The main entrance was cordoned off and the ground floor has been closed until further notice. The first and second floors remain open, and visitors can still access the early years area and American library sections. The closure comes just months after the library, run by Norfolk County Council, reopened following a £1.3 million refurbishment.
