ELLICOTT CITY, Md. — All six branches of the Howard County Library will soon have extended hours.
Beginning on Tuesday, September 2, the public libraries in Howard County will open at 9 am on weekdays and Saturdays, an hour earlier than the current opening time.
Sunday hours will remain from 1 pm to 5 pm.
Tonya Aikens, CEO and President of the Howard County Library System, says this is a change the community asked for.
"Our new hours will make it easier for people to visit the library before their day gets underway - whether they’re heading to work, school, or simply want a quiet space to start their morning," Aikens said.
The full new hours can be found here:
- Monday – Thursday: 9 am – 8 pm
- Friday & Saturday: 9 am – 5 pm
- Sunday: 1 – 5 pm (no change)
