After 400 years, health and safety bans stepladders from historic Oxford library...but nobody can reach the books

"Stepladders have been banned from part of Oxford University's historic Bodleian library - because of health and safety fears. The ruling by officials means that students cannot use items on the higher shelves of the Duke Humfrey reading room. However, the university is standing its ground and refusing to move the books from their 'original historic location' on the room's balcony. As a result of the stalemate, students have to travel to libraries as far away as London to view other copies" - Mail
