Royal Oak Public Library repens after bed bug incident
Operations at the Royal Oak library are back to normal Wednesday after a bed bug discovery.
FOX 2 - The Royal Oak Public Library is reopening Wednesday after bed bugs were discovered during a routine monthly inspection.
The backstory:
Library officials closed the building on Tuesday so that pest control crews could treat the facility, at 222 E. 11 Mile Road.
The bed bugs were found in adult seating and the computer lab, but were said to not be in the children's area or inside any books.
Management says that policy changes are being reviewed to prevent any future problems.
Bed bugs are commonly found in hotels, homes, hospitals and senior centers but rare for a library incident.

Jay Towers says his family owns a pest control business and spoke about how easy it is for bed bugs to become a problem.
"You would be surprised, it only takes one book bag that came from a house with bed bugs to come into a library on the carpet and that's it," he said. "It can happen really quick."
