On the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2026, the Ypsilanti District Library at the Michigan Avenue location found evidence of bed bugs, which was announced in a statement from library staff.
YDL staff have contacted its pest control company and the library will remain closed until treatment can be completed.
All events scheduled at the Michigan Avenue branch are cancelled until reopening.
Anyone who with concerns about bed bugs should visit the Washtenaw County Health Department website or call 734-544-6700 for more information.
Anyone with a bed bug issue at their residence is prohibited from entering any YDL location, the statement says. Once a patron can provide the YDL with written proof that their residence has been treated, re-inspected and there are no longer bed bugs in their home, their library privileges will be restored. The written proof must include the address of the residence treated, their contact information and must come from a licensed pest control company or the patron's landlord.
