North Little Rock library temporarily closed due to fire

Laman Library in North Little Rock was closed Wednesday after a small fire broke out Tuesday night. Officials with the library said the fire was related to the roof being repaired. Staff said they began to see smoke around 6:30 p.m., but it took a couple of hours to realize the fire went from the roof down a wall. The fire was a slow burn and has been put out, but the library will be closed due to air quality concerns. Officials said the library is working on repairing the roof and a mitigation team will work on removing the smoke.
