GREENE — In a move designed to better meet the needs of its patrons, the Board of Directors of Morse Memorial Library has announced that the library will change its hours in January.
Starting the week of Jan. 7, the library will be open from noon to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and will be closed Sunday and Monday.
“We’re seeing more and more families use the library after school, and we feel that being open until 7 p.m. for three consecutive days during the school week will make it easier for them to get in,” said Librarian Steve Bouchard. “We’ll still be open the same number of hours per week, and we’ll still have three late days and two early days. We’re just adjusting that mix to better reflect changing traffic patterns.” The library’s current hours, which haven’t changed in more than five years, are noon to 7 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday; 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday and Saturday, and closed Friday and Sunday. According to Bouchard, an added benefit to the change might be that the hours will be easier to remember.
“Like most public libraries, we want to be open early on some days and late on other days to accommodate our patrons’ different work schedules,” he said. “By arranging our late days consecutively, our early days consecutively, and our closed days consecutively, it might make it easier for those planning to stop in to remember when we’re open for business.”
Morse Library is at 105 Main St. in Greene Village, just off U.S. Route 202 and a quarter mile down from Greene Central School. For more information, call 207-946-5544 or visit www.morse.lib.me.us.
