The W.T. Bland Public Library is happy to announce the expansion of weekend and evening hours. 

After nearly a one-year absence, the W.T. Bland Public Library is resuming its Saturday and evening hours effective this week (March 1, 2021). The library will now be open every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and will remain open late on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings until 8:00 p.m. 

“We are so excited to resume our Saturday and evening hours. We’ve heard from so many patrons who preferred coming to the library after hours and starting this week, we can accommodate them,” says Circulation Supervisor Jill Santos. “For our new Saturday and evening hours, we’re offering our usual full access to public computers, printing and faxing, in addition to all the items in our collection available for borrowing.” 

As required by Resolution 2020-138, patrons are asked to continue wearing a face covering, practice social distancing inside the library and continue frequent hand-washing.
