Gwinnett libraries reduce hours beginning Sunday

Oct 19, 2011

The Gwinnett County Public Library will see reduced hours from 53 to 44 hours per week beginning Sunday but will remain open seven days a week.

The library’s 15 branches will operate on two different schedules Monday through Thursday, with half the libraries operating on each schedule. Friday, Saturday and Sunday hours will be the same at all branches.

The move comes as the library tries to balance its budget in the wake of county and state budget cuts. For a complete schedule of library hours, visit www.gwinnettpl.org.
