Water-damaged Delaware Library Closed for Repairs Through End of January


Link to November 26 (Salisbury, MD) Daily Times article, "Georgetown library will remain shut into new year".

ExcerptThe Georgetown Public Library will remain closed through the end of January, with repairs to the water-damaged facility estimated to cost $250,000, officials said.

On Sept. 26, a defective pipe fitting damaged books, carpet, furniture, and drywall on the building's first floor. The flood occurred less than two months after the Aug. 9 grand opening.

"The nature of this disaster is taking longer than we'd hoped," said Paul Enterline, president of the library's board of directors. "Basically, it's kind of like a whole new building project.
