Warning: This article contains graphic imagesBarbara Haverly was returning a book at the W.T. Bland Public Library in Mount Dora on July 28, when the freak accident occurred.
Haverly, who is a registered nurse, noticed that part of her left hand’s middle finger had fallen into the box.“I couldn’t push the swinging door back in, so I told the staff to get my fingertip out and put it in ice,” Haverly explained, adding that a nearby patron had rushed to the library’s bathroom to get paper towels.
“The library staff might have been shocked too. Patrons were trying to check out books and they were helping them,” Haverly recalled. “But I insisted they retrieve the finger and get it into cold ice water.”The box’s swinging metal door snapped back and trapped her finger. Although Haverly took the fingertip with her to the hospital, surgeons were unable to reattach it to her finger due to multiple severed nerve endings.
