A library in Colorado is having to close its doors for a second time in the same month to clean up methamphetamine contamination in the building.
Signs are placed on the outside doors of city hall to advise visitors that the library as well as a restroom are closed because of meth contamination Thursday, Jan. 12, 2022, in the south Denver suburb of Englewood, Colo.
SAN FRANCISCO ADDICTS ARE KEPT 'IN A STATE OF BONDAGE' BY SYRINGE EXCHANGE PROGRAMS, FORMER DRUG USER SAYS Brenda Folsom, who was picking up her grandchildren from school near Englewood's library on Thursday, said she has seen an increase in drug use in the area over the last two years, particularly at her local park. She is concerned her 3- and 8-year-old grandsons, who go to the library with their father, and other curious children might pick up needles and other drug paraphernalia in its bathrooms.
Boulder officials suggested that their city's library closure last month was the result of strict state rules for cleaning up meth once testing reveals it. They also pointed out that standards for how muchis acceptable were developed with an eye toward homes, where frequent exposure is more likely than in public buildings.
The Boulder library has since reopened, but its bathrooms remain closed as crews do decontamination work including replacing fans and vents, spokesperson Annie Elliott said. Once that is done, the bathrooms will remain locked and anyone needing to use them will have to ask a staff member or security guard for access.An outreach group comes each Monday to offer services like help getting identification, food vouchers and housing, according to Underhill.
