Hide AdAnna Herron, Falkirk Community Trust’s public libraries team leader, said: “At the moment, Meadowbank Library is operating a book-drop and click and collect service only.
“The heavy rain on Monday resulted in water ingress through the ceiling.
“We hope to re-open later in the week and would advise library users to follow our social channels for the latest news. All of our other libraries are open as usual.”
A Facebook statement read: “Water ingress has forced us to temporarily close Meadowbank Library in Polmont to the public. You can drop off books at the door only.
