Colorado city closes library amid meth smoking in bathrooms

Officials in Boulder, Colorado, are closing their main library after it was found that patrons smoked methamphetamine in the bathrooms.

Concerning levels of the narcotic were found in the air ducts connected to six of the library’s restrooms, according to an announcement on the library’s website. City officials made the call after reports of people smoking in the library’s bathrooms the past four weeks.

There is no timeline to reopen the library.

The bathroom air ducts blow out of the building, although it’s unknown at this time if any meth residue accumulated on outside surfaces.

Testing is being done inside the library to make sure none of the narcotics are contaminating the public areas of the building.
