Library Closed A Second Day Due To Water Damage

The Tolland Public Library will be closed again for the second day in a row. The library was originally was scheduled to open its doors at noon yesterday, in addition to the town hall and senior center. However, it was unable to open as a result of water damage after the snowstorm.

“We have had ongoing leaks in the library roof for some time that have intensified with the build up of snow and ice,” Town Manager Steven Werbner told Patch last night. “Crews will be on the roof tomorrow trying to remove some of the accumulation.”

In next year’s capitol budget is a proposed project to replace the roof, said Werbner, “which is long overdue.” The cost for the project is estimated to be approximately $400,000.
