STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Schlow Centre Regional Library is still trying to overcome flood damage due to a frozen pipe, but the process is a slow one, and their expected reopening date has been pushed back again.

A Closed sign remains on the front door of the library as crews continue to try to repair the upstairs and downstairs that were damaged by water from a frozen pipe.

The drying-out phase is complete, and crews are now painting and making minor repairs, but contractors found yet another frozen pipe a situation they have to take care of before opening day.

Library officials said they know this is an inconvenience, but theyre humbled with the support theyve received. More than $8,000 has been donated so far to help bridge the gap on items their insurance wont cover.

During this closure, library officials want to remind everyone that books that were on hold will still be waiting when their doors do open, and of course, no late fees will be charged.

Library officials said they are confident that theyll be opening next week.
