MIDDLETOWN, CT (WFSB) -

The Russell Library in Middletown is still closed after bed bugs were discovered there earlier this week.

Cleaning crews are now expected to bring in a bug-sniffing dog to try and remove any remaining insects from the building.

The facility was closed earlier this week when the bugs were found inside a DVD case that was returned to the library.
