According to sources, the art gallery in the culture house in Alingsås has had to stop staying open when staff are not there.

Complaints have also been made against the library, which is also located in the Culture House. Youths have been rowdy at the library, and beer cans have been found in the trash cans when they have been there in the evenings.

It is unclear who made the complaints against the library or what measures are being taken to address the issues. The number of members using the extended opening before it was stopped is also not known.
