SPRAY-painting vandals have covered Wickford Library in graffiti.
Much of the outside of the building in Market Road, Wickford, has been covered in tags in several attacks.
Cllr Iris Pummell, Essex County Council's cabinet member for community services, said the council would try to minimise repeat attacks.
"We have a programme across the county for removing graffiti, and will of course be including Wickford Library in that clean up operation.
"We will also continue to combat graffiti by working with local people to engage them in creating art projects at our libraries, as we have done on Canvey, as well as hosting fantastic events as we did in Wickford last weekend."
