Most Fayetteville library sections now reopened after rooftop fire, repairs still underway

The cause of the fire was found to be "an ember" from the library's volunteer beekeeper's smudge pot.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The cleanup continues at the Fayetteville Public Library after a rooftop fire last weekend

The cause of the fire was found to be "an ember" from the library's volunteer beekeeper's smudge pot. 

Although there are still repairs being made to the building, library officials say most of the spaces have been reopened at their normal hours. The only two things not open at this time are the holds area and the "Lucky Day" collection lobby in the second floor. According to Randy Canales-Ochoa, both of these can be accessed in the third floor near the main entrance. 

As far as library events, you can visit the website for any relocations.
