Meth contamination has forced three libraries and an RTD transit facility bathroom to shut down since Dec. 22.

Then Littleton city officials decided to proactively test the Bemis Public Library. The city announced Wednesday it would be closing the library after those tests came back positive for"elevated levels" of meth in the restrooms. “I wouldn't be concerned about public health,” said Mike Van Dyke, associate professor at the Colorado School of Public Health. “Mostly because people won't be able to access those spaces and they're not gonna spend much time there."
