Killingworth Library has New Hours for a New Year

The Killingworth Library Association (KLA) is listening to what patrons told it about their community library and has adopted new hours for the new year.

While the results of its community survey are still being tabulated as this is being written, one message is coming across loud and clear: The Killingworth Library needs to adjust its hours to better serve the needs of the community. KLA knows many patrons would like to visit the library on their way home from work. The new schedule means that the library will be open until at least 6 p.m. every weekday, and will continue to have its extended evening hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Staff and volunteers have worked together to devise a schedule that allows the library to open one hour earlier on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, as well as closing later on those days. This scheduling change will be made at no additional staff expense; all paid staff have adjusted their hours to make this happen.

The library’s hours are as follows: Monday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and closed on Sunday.
