When employees arrived for work at the Ferndale Library last Friday morning, they were greeted with water damage in the building’s mezzanine level mechanical room, caused by a plumbing failure. Fortunately, the library’s books and media material were unharmed, however the Library’s Friends store lost several books.
Library officials say that it is too early to determine what caused the plumbing malfunction, but that a disaster recovery company had arrived to assess the damage and begin clean up operations.
The library had recently reopened following a $4 million renovation. “That’s what really makes this heartbreaking”, said Patrick Dengate, secretary for the library’s board of directors.
