Boulder's Main Library is closed and awaiting test results after methamphetamine was detected in the restroom's air ducts.
David Farnan, library director for the City of Boulder, said over the past four weeks, the city's Main Library, located at 1001 Arapahoe Ave., had numerous reports of suspected drug use in the bathrooms. In addition, Farnan said a few employees reported mild symptoms possibly linked to drug exposure. They were cleared by medical staff.
"The city also took the extra step of checking the adequacy of the exhaust vents in these enclosed spaces," Farnan said in an online statement."This included the proactive measure to hire a contractor to conduct testing of the air ducts. The test results came back Monday and showed that residue in the exhaust ducts of most of the restrooms had methamphetamine readings that were above the allowable threshold, requiring remediation.
The library may open portion by portion, but those details will not be available until the testing is finished, he said.
