SEBASTOPOL, Calif. - The Sebastopol Regional Library is closed until further notice due to possible environmental concerns, library officials said.
What we know:
According to Sonoma County Library spokesperson Petula Burks, the library and city of Sebastopol are currently assessing a "potential environmental hazard" at the Sebastopol branch.
City partners are currently running tests and investigating the situation, including possible concerns with mold and wallpaper peeling, according to a Sonoma County Library administrator.
The Sebastopol Regional Library closed at 4 p.m. Thursday and will remain closed for the weekend.
