LIBRARY REPAIRS

The Nutley Public Library remains closed as it makes repairs from a major water leak.

Library staff recently gave an update on remediation efforts, which began in February after a large leak caused extensive damage in the building.

“The contractors overseeing the water damage repairs estimate that the library may remain closed to the public until early May,” administrators reported.

“Thank you for your patience as we work towards welcoming you back,” staff added.
