(Ukiah, Mendocino County, California) – We have confirmed today that there is mold in the Children’s Room in the Ukiah Library. We have closed this room as a precaution. We are expecting to hear from our Contractors early next week as far as a time line for the mold mitigation process.

In the meantime we will be moving some of the children’s books to the main area of the library but all programs are suspended for now.

It is our goal to have the Children’s Room reopened as soon as possible and to resume our wonderful children’s programs.
