The Clifton Springs Library temporarily closed its doors earlier this month after staff discovered potential signs of bed bugs in a collection item.
Library Director Phil Trautman told the Finger Lakes Times that the facility is undergoing a thorough cleaning and treatment process as a precaution.
The issue was identified on Sept. 4, prompting the quarantine of the item and the involvement of the library’s pest contractor.
While Trautman reassured patrons that currently checked-out materials pose a low risk, the entire building is being treated to ensure no infestation occurs.
