Oak Bluffs Library Open

The Oak Bluffs Library is open again after an unpleasant sewage backup forced it to close last week.

Library director Danguole Budris notified the board of health and the highway department last Tuesday when sewage began spilling into the library staff room.

The problem was corrected, but the library remained closed until Saturday while town workers removed soiled carpeting and attacked the cleanup using bleach.

Ms. Budris said it was the third such backup since May.

The library has been beset by building problems; early this year it was discovered that the HVAC system was faulty.
