Hurricane Irene floodwaters damage Penns Grove-Carneys Point Library. (Today's Sunbeam, 9/6/2011)
Excerpt: The Penns Grove-Carneys Point Library will be closed for an undetermined amount of time due to flood and storm damage caused by Hurricane Irene.
“We’re in a flood-prone area and we have some damage,” said Linda Huff, president of the library board of directors on Tuesday. “We hope to re-open as soon as possible, but right now we’re closed for flood cleanup.”
The library, located on South Broad Street, had its rugs and floors soaked. Wooden bookcases are sucking up water, doors have swelled and won’t open, and there has been some damage to drywall, said Huff.
On the positive side, no books were lost, she added.
