Downtown Lexington library takes steps to eradicate 'isolated' bedbugs
The Lexington Public Library is taking steps to eradicate bedbugs from the Central Library on East Main Street, but officials say it remains a safe place for patrons.

Two bedbugs were found in recent days in the library, which has as many as half a million visitors each year, said spokesman Doug Tattersall.

"We're still busy, and people need to know they are safe here," he said.

A pair of bedbug-sniffing dogs from a pest control company in Evansville, Ind., found evidence of bedbugs Wednesday in "isolated pieces of furniture" on the first, third and fourth floors of the library, and in some staff areas, Tattersall said.

Furniture identified by the dogs was "immediately removed," he said.
