LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lake County Librarian Christopher Veach has announced that, effective Dec. 16, all Lake County Library branches will have new hours.
“The new hours will be more consistent and correspond to current library usage patterns better than the old hours,” said Veach.
The Board of Supervisors approved the new hours for the branches at its Nov. 5 meeting.
Veach told the board at that time that he wanted to have the new Middletown Library open more, but that would require hiring more staff, which funding constraints prevent right now.
Lakeport Library will be open on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. beginning Dec. 18. The hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays will remain 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Lakeport Library is located at 1425 N. High St., telephone 707-263-8817.
Redbud Library in Clearlake will be open on Wednesdays from noon to 7 p.m. beginning Dec. 18. The hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays will remain 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Redbud Library is located at 14785 Burns Valley Road in Clearlake, telephone 707-994-5115.
Beginning Dec. 17 Middletown and Upper Lake Libraries will shift hours and will be open from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays.
The Saturday hours at Middletown and Upper Lake will remain 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Middletown Library is located at 21256 Washington St., telephone 707-987-3674. Upper Lake Library is located at Main and Second streets, telephone 707-275-2049.
All four library branches will be closed Tuesday, Dec. 24, and Wednesday, Dec. 25 for Christmas, and Wednesday, Jan. 1, for New Year’s Day.
