The Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library at 3030 Poplar is closed for the rest of the day because of a malfunctioning fire alarm system. Library officials expect the building to reopen Tuesday. Normal weekday hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The problem started about 1:30 p.m. today when fire alarms went off, sounding for about 30 minutes, library spokesman Lillian Johnson said. The building was evacuated, but no fire was found.
The alarms sounded again about 4:40 p.m., prompting the shutdown, Johnson said.
"There was a malfunction with the sensors and the fire department decided it would be best to just close it down," she said.
For anyone needing a library Monday night, the closest branch to the Central location is at 460 S. Highland. Branch libraries are open until 8 p.m.
Today Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library closed down for the whole day due to fire alarm went off. At 1:30 p.m and again at 4:40 p.m but no smoke or fire was found. The library was decided to closed for the rest of the day and reopen to Tuesday. No one know what happen maybe something might went wrong with the alarm or someone might just play game. This kind of firer alarm happen so much now a day at many school, if they caught whosever doing it they could go to jail because it could harm other students.
