A fallen tree limb has blocked the western entrance to the Knight Library. Three University of Oregon Campus Operations staff members have been placing caution tape around tree areas and cautioning passers by to avoid walking under the trees, which can be difficult on the UO campus.

Library employee Kate Smith estimates that the limb fell around 1 p.m. and was reported by a library patron. The library has since locked the west entrance and marked the area with caution tape.

“As far as we know it’s safe,” Smith said.

The extent of the damage due to falling branches is currently unknown. Thus far the light outside the western library entrance is broken and a lamp post between Johnson Hall and the Jordan Schnizter Museum of Art has been damaged by falling tree limbs.
