(VERNON, Connecticut) – The Rockville Public Library is expanding its hours and will be open Saturdays beginning this week.
“The Rockville Public Library is an important center of knowledge and culture in Vernon and offers so much to enrich our community,” Vernon Mayor Dan Champagne. “As the pandemic eases and we begin to get back to normal, I am glad we are able to expand the hours during which our residents can take advantage of the library’s collection and the many services it offers.”
The library’s hours are now: Monday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Thursday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“The library is all about being there to address residents’ needs, and adding Saturday hours makes us that much more accessible to people who may not be able to make it during the work week,” Library Director Jennifer Johnston-Marius said. “Libraries are portals to the world’s knowledge, and the more we can be here available to our community, the better we all are.”
