Description
This week on Inside Boulder News: High-End Art Theft, Guaranteed Income Pilot Task Force, and Update on Boulder Main Library
A
Welcome
to
inside
Boulder
news
your
source
for
all
things:
Boulder
I'm,
Jocelyn,
Evan,
Daniel,
Boulder's,
main
library,
closed
its
doors
to
the
public
on
December
20th,
when
testing
of
restroom
exhaust
vents
showed
levels
well
above
State
thresholds
for
methamphetamine
contamination
based
on
recommendations
from
an
environmental
remediation
contractor
and
input
from
State
and
County
Health
officials.
The
city
began
a
gradual
reopening
of
the
main
library
this
week.
For
the
past
few
weeks,
Boulder's
main
library
has
been
close
to
the
public
during
the
closure.
A
B
The
testing
showed
us
was
helpful,
very
helpful.
It
showed
us
that,
yes,
in
the
main
library
bathrooms
that
are
public-facing,
primarily
the
ones
that
are
most
heavily
used,
which
are
on
the
main
level
in
the
central
part
of
the
building,
there
were
high
levels
of
methamphetamine
contamination,
both
in
the
ducts
and
on
some
of
the
surfaces
that
people
could
touch,
so
those
areas
are
going
to
need
to
be
fully
remediated.
We
did
also,
however,
find
some
lower
levels
of
contamination
on
a
couple
of
seating
areas
in
the
main
library
that
I've
been
heavily
used.
A
B
The
discussions
have
been
primarily
focused
on
the
Urgent.
What
do
we
need
to
do
to
get
the
library
safely
opened
now,
but
a
corresponding
discussion
is.
How
are
we
going
to
deal
with
this
issue
more
broadly,
and
how
are
we
going
to
prevent
it
from
happening
again?
The
reality
is
the
city
of
Boulder
and
the
Boulder
Public
Library
are
not
the
only
places
that
are
grappling
with
the
methamphetamine
epidemic.
B
A
They
released
Friday
afternoon
the
city
announced
that
the
boulder
main
library
will
reopen
its
doors
to
the
public
on
Monday
January.
9Th
remediation
work
will
still
be
conducted
during
this
time.
No
public
restrooms
will
be
available
until
the
work
is
completed.

The

is
asking
for

these
high-end
pieces

were
stolen
from
a
log
truck
in
the
city
on
the
evening
of
December
14th,
a
company
transporting
several
pieces
