A CAR that crashed into a library is still inside after two days as officials decide whether the building should be demolished.
The driver of a Mini caused a giant hole in the building after hitting Sandiacre Library in Derby.

Local authorities are concerned about the safety of the building as the impact caused significant damage.
The vehicle remains inside while engineers assess the damage that the car has caused.
Police confirmed that there was no report of injuries.
They say a 34-year-old man, who was arrested on suspicion of driving offences, had been released under investigation while inquiries continue.
Speaking to Derbyshire Live, a spokesperson for Derbyshire County Council said: “A county council team including surveyors and a structural engineer are continuing to work at the site of Sandiacre Library following the incident involving a car on Sunday.
“Damage to the building is significant.”
Members of the staff at the library were shocked after seeing the pictures of the car inside their workplace.
They were grateful the incident happened on a Sunday rather than the next day because at the time the incident took place there would have been children inside.
Locals were surprised and devastated – the library is a community centre visited by many people.
It’s not the first time this has happened – last year another car got stuck inside a library in Southampton.
The driver and the passenger were not injured.
