It looks like the snow is determined to freeze the spirits of the staff and patrons at Hales Corners Library. While it didn't ultimately meet this goal, it sure did a number on us.
Melting snow and icicles surrounding the library book drop, and descending from the building's roof, seeped inside the book drop, drenching everything in its path. A couple books were damaged but most were able to be salvaged.
For the time being, the book drop is closed in order to prevent more leakage. Patrons will have to return their materials inside the building at the circulation desk. This is fine for the staff at Hales Corners Library as we love visits from our patrons! However, with a little help from the Village of Hales Corners, the book drop should be up and dry in no time.
