The North Natomas Library’s hours of operation will change effective June 1.
Branch supervisor Suzy Murray today announced the public library will now have weekend hours. Several area residents have expressed interest in using the library during the weekend since it opened in January.
Starting in June, the new hours will be:
Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Wednesday and Thursday, 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Friday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
YIPPEE! Saturday hours will be fantastic! Thanks library for listening to your patrons’ requests!
I am so glad the library will be open on Saturday when more Natomas residents will be able to use it!
Bravo to the Sacramento Library. Thank you for listening to us and allowing us to use this tremendous facility at convenient times!
Thank you SOOOOO much!!!! I have been hoping you guys would open on Saturdays ever since you first opened up! THANK YOU!
I hate to be a negative nelly about this, BUT not being open on Monday is a disadvantage to the high school students, who probably use the library more than anyone. It is a safe haven after school, and with the free computers, gives many kids an opportunity for research and homework that they couldn’t get at home. Sacrificing Monday for Saturday is too bad.
Looks like they are closing on Mondays to make opening on Saturday do-able. I guess I’m fine with that trade-off. I will definitely use it more on Saturdays than on Mondays.
You can’t see me, but I am doing a big happy dance in my cubicle. Thank you Suzy Murray!!!!
Considering the behavior I see of the high school students in the library 3x a week, only one or two of them are doing work. The rest are swearing, messing around, kissing their girlfriends in the stacks and being a nuisance. They can keep doing that the other four days of the week.
HOrray!!! I’ve been waiting for this. Thanks !
The gain to the overall community outweighs any loss to the high school students. They have access on the other four days of the week and can study a little extra on the weekends now.
When I was in high school, I used the library to do research for projects and then I would go home to type my papers on a typewriter or computer.
Now, high school students (many of them) use computers in the library primarily to play, surfing MySpace and Facebook and hanging out with each other, often in a disruptive manner that other patrons do not appreciate.
The concept of a publc library being a peaceful and quiet place of reading diligent study is gone. It’s a real shame.
