BACK IN BUSINESS: Back in August, an explosion at a printing business in Chandler also damaged a public library nearby, prompting it to close its doors. Months later, the library is finally reopening its doors to the community.

The explosion happened on the morning of Aug. 26, 2021. The inside of the building is completely destroyed, with broken glass, splintered wood and insulation littering the parking lot. Debris from the blast was found up to 100 yards away. The fourth victim, identified as Glenn Jordan, was the general manager of an eyeglass repair shop located a couple of stores down from the printing business.. In a statement, officials with the utility provider say the cause of the leak and subsequent explosion was premature degradation of a certain type of natural gas pipe that was installed at the location in 1999.Chandler's Sunset Library suffered damage in the explosion, with the blast sending parts of the shop flying into the library.
For the past six months, construction workers have been fixing up damages to the roof, as well as damage caused by flooding inside the library as a result of the blast. Now, the library has new lighting, and certain books have been replaced."I was missing it a lot. It's my favorite library," said Patty Lee. "I live, like, three minutes away, so I'm excited."
