UPDATE: Power Back On at Wheaton Library

Update, 10 a.m., July 3:

has regained power and is opening at 10 a.m. Tuesday, according to a tweet from Montgomery County Public Libraries. Silver Spring Library remains closed due to lack of electricity.

Original story, July 2:

 and Silver Spring Library are both closed due to the power outage, Montgomery County Public Libraries reported Monday morning.

Cars were pulling in and out of the Wheaton Library parking lot Monday morning. Some people wanted to drop off children before going to work; others needed to plug in a laptop.

Becky Jordan said she has no power at her home near the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Seminary Road. Because the library is closed, she said she is going to take her daughter to work in Bethesda.

Laura, who lives near the Glenmont Metro station, said she had tossed everything out of the fridge before driving to the Wheaton Library--only to find out the library didn't have any power either. 

Allison Leaver said she had power at her home, but had driven over to the Wheaton Library to pick up a book on hold. 

All Montgomery County Public Libraries except Davis, Wheaton, Twinbrook, Little Falls and Silver Spring are open Monday. See the MCPL website for more details.
