The Cobb County Public Library System has announced that expanded operating hours will start Monday, Nov. 5, for most branches.
That’s due to the recently approved county budget, which also added Sunday hours at regional branches, including Mountain View.
The biggest change is in Saturday hours. Many branches open late in the morning or in the early afternoon.
All Cobb branches, with one exception, will open at 10 a.m. starting Nov. 10. Those branches currently close at 6; the new closing time will be at 5 p.m. (The Windy Hill branch will remain closed on Saturday.)
Currently, the East Cobb and Mountain View branches open at 11 a.m. Saturday, while Gritters and the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center (pictured above) open at 1 p.m.
In addition, opening times on Thursday and Friday will be at 10 a.m. at larger branches, including Mountain View, East Cobb and Sewell Mill, that currently open at 11 a.m. The closing time for those branches on those days will stay at 6 p.m.
Gritters is classified as a mid-size branch and also will have new Thursday and Friday hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Hours will remain unchanged at branches open on Sunday, from 1-5 p.m.
For more information call 770-528-2320 or visit the Cobb library website.
A quick note if you’re visiting any Cobb library branch, for Friday only: They’re all opening an hour later than usual, at noon, for staff in-service training.
