Detroit-Area Libraries Face Temporary Closures Due to Pest Infestations

Oak Park and Royal Oak libraries shut down for cleaning and pest control after bedbugs and cockroaches were discovered.

The Oak Park Public Library closed on Wednesday after bedbugs were found in two chairs in the computer area.
The Royal Oak Public Library also experienced a temporary closure earlier in the week due to cockroaches found in a returned DVD case.
Both libraries brought in pest control experts for thorough inspections and treatments before reopening.
The Oak Park library emphasized its commitment to safety by deciding to clean the entire building despite finding no additional pests.
Other libraries in the metro Detroit area have implemented various pest prevention protocols to address similar issues.
