Asbestos Cleanup Continues at Madison Library

Library expected to be closed for 'much of this week.'

The Madison Library remains closed this week due to ongoing asbestos cleanup.

The cleanup was expected to be completed for the library to re-open on Monday.

However, the library is expected to remain closed for "much of this week," according to a message on its website. The re-opening date will be posted on the library's website.

The cleanup began last Monday, March 24 and was expected to last about a week. Items on hold can be picked up in the Chase Room on Tuesday and Wednesday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. and between 4 and 6 p.m.

The library was built in 1969 with asbestos-containing materials that were identified in 2010. The library closed in March 2011 and again in November 2012 for asbestos abatement projects.
