The West County Area Library is back open Wednesday after being closed due to air conditioning problems.

The library had closed on Tuesday due to a lack of air conditioning and high building temperature. It was previously closed for several days due to power outages following the major derecho storm.

Any holds placed on books will extended based on the number of days the library was closed, library officials said on the system's Facebook page.

The library will be open Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
