On Friday, October 7, a delivery truck became stuck under the Library’s underpass at the east entrance after going the wrong way, which created extensive damage. No one was hurt in the accident, but the building was promptly closed down due to safety concerns. Fire officials and structural engineers verified that the building was structurally intact despite the damage to the building’s overhang, and the Library opened with normal hours on Saturday, October 8.
We are working to get the damage repaired. The area beneath the damaged underpass will remain roped off until repairs have been completed. During this time, patrons needing an accessible entrance should use the Library’s west entrance (near Cedar Lane). We will post additional repair updates here as they become available.
