According to Kevin Botterbush, president of Hayner’s board of trustees, the main focus now is to ensure that the Alton Square Mall space is cleaned and restored as quickly as possible.
“Our first priority is to ensure a clean, safe space for our patrons and staff,” said Botterbush. “We are working with restoration professionals to make sure this event is handled appropriately with the utmost care and concern for public safety. We acknowledge that this might present a slight inconvenience for a few days, but we are doing our best to maintain our facilities as safe, welcoming spaces.”
Any materials being held for pick-up at Hayner Library at Alton Square Mall will remain at that location and will be available upon re-opening. Overdue fines will be waived for patrons with due dates occurring during the closure.
