The library continues to gradually increase its open hours, most recently by adding two hours to the start of the day. Now, open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the same days of the week as before – Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Users can continue to come in to browse all of the collections, in addition to using one of the public computers, study tables, or comfortable chairs. Also, the former lobby has been remodeled to include a beautiful new standing-height countertop.

Staff hopes to continue expanding the library’s open hours by adding additional open days of the week. The strategy is to make careful changes that can be sustained long-term. Share any feedback at 360-376-4985 or pheikkinen@orcaslibrary.org.
