Just before 1:30 p.m. Friday, a minivan struck the Hays Public Library.

The van was in the parking lot on the south side of the library when it struck the side of the building.

The women driving the vehicle was taken by ambulance to the hospital. It was initially unclear what caused the accident. No one else was injured.

The library did not have to be evacuated.

Brandon Hines, library director, said he was unsure how much damage was done to the library building, but he did not think it was severe enough to warrant closing the library.
