Library closed until noon

The Lawrence Public Library will be closed until at least noon today as crews work to finish installing a new online catalog system.

The library was closed all day Monday and was scheduled to reopen at 9 a.m. today. Unexpected delays, however, have pushed the opening back until at least noon, said Bruce Flanders, executive director of the library. Flanders said it may be necessary to push the opening of the library back to later this afternoon.
