Excerpt: Damage is being assessed and events rescheduled a day after a ruptured water line forced the Butte Public Library to close.
An insurance adjuster flew to Butte Wednesday from Seattle to tour the library at 226 W. Broadway St. and record the water damage, said library director Lee Phillips.
Also, efforts are being made to relocate events it has planned for Friday's Christmas Stroll and other regular library activities.
The library is expected to be closed for at least two weeks, and possibly longer, Phillips said.
A pipe from the library's fire suppression system burst sometime Monday evening in a wall in a stairwell on the third floor. Water sprayed from walls and flooded some of the rooms with as much as 3 inches of water, damaging carpets and books.
The exact amount of damages was still being determined Wednesday.
