The bed bug extermination reportedly cost the city nearly ten thousand dollars.Marshall Public Library Director Terri Nalls says the library has been declared free of bedbugs and will reopen on Tuesday.“We did have an infestation of bed bugs. It was found primarily in our furniture in the main part of the library,” Nalls said.The library was shut down on July 24 when bedbugs were found on chairs near the front windows.“The whole building was treated for bedbugs. We then had a deep cleaning by a professional company that came in and deep cleaned everything in the library so that we’re safe for our little kids to come back in,” Nalls said.She says the chairs were thrown out, and they don’t know how the bugs got there. $9,800 later the bugs are gone, but just in case:“We also have some inspections, ongoing, that will continue to happen,” Nalls said.Now they are more cautious.“We are checking every book that comes back into the library before it’s put back on the shelf,” Nalls said.And some policies will change.“We will not be allowing things like sleeping bags and blankets and pillows. Those kinds of things that bed bugs can be opportunistic travelers,” Nalls said.This is the library staff’s first day working in the library in three weeks. They have some books to put away, and the last three weeks of overdue fees are forgiven.According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, eliminating bed bugs usually takes multiple visits by a licensed pest control operator who is experienced in bed bug removal.</div></body>
