Ventnor Public Library Closed After Bedbugs Are Discovered

VENTNOR, NJ – If you've visited the Ventnor Cultural Arts Center and the Ventnor branch of the Atlantic County Library over the past two weeks, officials here are urging patrons to check their belongings.

That's because bedbugs were found in some of the public seating areas in the building at 6500 Atlantic Avenue, according to the city website.

The building will be closed until at least Aug. 8.

"The furniture has been removed and destroyed, and the entire building... is being professionally treated," the website states. "The city will monitor this situation going forward, and the canine dog from the exterminator will be brought in to make sure there are no new outbreaks.We will notify you through this same source once the building is reopened."
