Royal Oak Library Closes Over Bed Bugs | Detroit News

The Royal Oak Public Library shut its doors Tuesday after discovering a bed bug infestation—its first-ever encounter with the creepy crawlers. The bugs were found nesting in furniture in the computer lab and lounge chairs, confirmed after routine monthly inspections that began after a cockroach sighting. Though a patron had reported something in the bathroom earlier, it wasn’t until inspectors arrived that the full scope was clear. All affected furniture has been disinfected, and the library is changing its bag policy to prevent future outbreaks. Reopening is targeted for Wednesday—fingers crossed they’ve got this under control and can safely welcome back the community.
