The closure was caused by a pipe that became loose in the pump room located on the first floor of City Hall. The pump room is responsible for controlling the splash pad on the plaza, and the loose pipe resulted in water leaking into the library. Fortunately, staff noticed the leak, and a contractor was called to remove the water and set up fans and dehumidifiers to prevent further damage.
The repairs include inspecting electrical outlets that may have been exposed to water, replacing loose pipes, and installing a leak detector as a preventative measure. Minor repainting and reorganization of the library will also be necessary. Luck said the cost of the repairs is minimal, with most of it covered by the city’s insurance through VRSA.

The celebration included a book sale organized by the Friends of Manassas City Library, which featured Manny the penguin, the library mascot.
During the event, Manny entertained partygoers by walking around, shaking hands, and taking photos. As the library enters its fourth year, the Friends of Manassas City Library has set a new goal to build a LEGO replica of Manny. The penguin mascot’s library adventure began on the library’s opening day, February 2, 2021, amid an ice storm.
The new Park Central Library at Manassas Park City Hall opened Sunday, September 11.
Tailored specifically to the needs of the Manassas Park community, the Park Central Library is a modern-day library offering virtual reality, 3D printing, technology, programs, and services, in addition to a large collection of books, digital books, and movies.
