BUENA PARK
Workers are continuing to pump water out of the city library’s auditorium, damaged by last year’s El Nino storms. The water that seeped into the library auditorium, on La Palma Avenue, damaged the stage area, carpets and walls. Workers installed French drains to allow water to seep through the sides of the pipes toward a pump.
The crews will continue about $90,000 worth of repairs to the structure and furniture at least until September, said library staff member Doug Mason. The library also must replace the damaged carpets and drapes.
