Storm Damage at City Park Library

Prepared by Andrew Lopez

Hurricane Isaac and the lengthy city-wide power outages in its aftermath took a pretty nasty toll on the City Park Library. Water that came through the floors, walls, and ceiling, combined with the heat and humidity that followed the absence of air conditioning provided the perfect conditions for mold.

The library space itself (Building 10, Room 116) is unfortunately now predominantly off-limits to the public until remediation of mold-affected areas can be completed. We anticipate this taking approximately two weeks.

During this troubling down-time, please keep in mind that the library computer lab, the magazine and copier room (Building 10, Room 116), and the Reference Room (Building 10, Room 132/3) will be open.

Anyone looking for books, should continue to use the online catalog. Please fill out the Closed Stacks Request Form available inside each item record in the Catalog, or please just ask at the Circulation or Reference desks. We can get you any book in the collection within 24-hours.
