Concerns of potential asbestos in the area being renovated in the East Brunswick Public Library were reported to the NJ Department of Health. The Department of Health did not require the library to close, but recommended it as a precaution while the matter was addressed. Air quality tests taken on Saturday, February 25 at various points in the Library indicated no presence of asbestos in the air. Tests of materials conducted by the NJ Department of Labor indicated that levels were below 1%, and thus considered non-asbestos containing materials per Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards. The Library has no documented instances of materials testing above 1%. We are awaiting recommendations from the state officials for any additional cleaning and/or possible testing to confirm the safe and healthy environment of the Library. The library will be closed until this is concluded.
All library programs and passport appointments are canceled. Library users can visit any other LMxAC member library (lmxac.org/member-libraries/) at this time and check out our virtual library (https://ebpl.org/virtuallibrary) for online resources.
