The library building has suffered damage, not just to paint, walls, windows, doors, and offices, but also to the fire protection system, other important safety elements, and technology such as staff and lab computers and classroom projectors. We have not yet been able to confirm the condition of our books and archives. It’s going to take awhile to assess the damage and loss, clean up, and get the building safe for staff to enter. It is difficult to know at this time when we will be able to reopen to our community. --
