Thank you librarians! My family and I really appreciate this. You are indispensable in our lives, and we love the longer hours, especially the fact that you will open at 10 am throughout the city. Extended weekend hours are a boon.
I look forward to many lovely hours in your welcoming surroundings.

Wow, so much easier to remember now. And great that it allows one more hour of study time for my children. Too bad they close at 6:00 on Fridays though.

Yippee. No more getting there at the wrong time on the wrong day and having to hang around until they open or come back tomorrow because they have already closed.

Now, if they could just get their parking problem sorted at Mitchell Park and their book drop back, they might get in my good books.

This is welcome news as the prior schedule had different hours at each location so only someone with a photographic memory could remember them.

Bringing back the book drop would be nice since parking is so limited at both Mitchell and Rinconada.

Great news. Now just expand the SF and fiction collections at Rinconada and we're set.
