Fortunately, no books or equipment were damaged in the flood, the cause of which is still under investigation.
Cleaning and repairs are currently underway, including replacing damaged carpets and cabinets.
Library members can return borrowed items at nearby libraries in Wynyard, Penguin, Ulverstone or Devonport and keep them until the Burnie Library reopens.
Holds placed on items will also be paused and ready for collection when the library reopens.
