The city of Phoenix has completed a review of life-safety systems undertaken after last year’s flooding at Burton Barr Central Library. The city determined that nearly two dozen buildings needed immediate repair. However, the review found no buildings presenting an imminent threat to personal safety, according to a city spokesperson. The flagship branch of the Phoenix Public Library's 17-branch system was closed for nearly a year as the result of storm damage caused in part by unaddressed maintenance issues. The damage occurred on July 15, 2017, and 11 city employees were subsequently disciplined related to that incident. The library reopened on June 16, 2018.
