New 7-day-a-week schedules ahead for local Seattle Public Library branches

The Seattle Public Library is adding more hours/days at many of its branches, using funding from the 2019 “Libraries for All” levy, and that means – among other changes – that once the additions take effect, all SPL branches in this area will be open seven days a week. (Currently, Delridge and West Seattle/Admiral are closed Fridays, while Southwest is closed Saturdays.) SPL’s announcement notes, “With this expansion, Library locations will be open a total of 223 more hours per week than currently and 133 more hours per week than in 2019 when the Levy was overwhelmingly passed by voters.” These are the schedules that will take effect the week of April 3rd.

    Great news indeed.  
    Our libraries are our best most highly functioning public service, available for everyone.  
    Our librarians are remarkable and too often unheralded in their knowledge, skill and patience.  They are expert in guiding patrons through the extensive services available.  
    We should all support extended hours for this wonderful public resource.

Sorry, comment time is over.
