The Cathlamet Library has been closed till January 29 because of safety
concerns.

A contractor has been working to replace a footing of a sagging wall,
and excavations Thursday released a large amount of groundwater. Town
hall employees noticed doors were sticking and out alignment, and
officials called in an engineer for an inspection.

"The building is shifting more than expected," Mayor George Wehrfritz
announced. "It seems within the range of normal movement, but just to be
safe, we've closed the library until Friday, January 29."
