Gwinnett library extending nighttime hours

Librarygoers will soon be able to access the Lawrenceville branch of the Gwinnett County Public Library for two more hours each day.

The Lawrenceville branch will have Open+ access until 10 p.m. seven days a week starting on Oct. 30, according to a news release. The library launched Open+ in June 2016, allowing library cardholders aged 18 and older to access the building beyond normal operating hours.

The program initially allowed Open+ members to access the Lawrenceville branch at 8 a.m., two hours before the building’s official opening time, 10 a.m. Now users can access the library for two hours after the official closing time, which is 8 p.m.

All visitors need to do to gain Open+ access is to have a library card and register at no cost. To access the building during Open+ hours, registered users must enter a PIN and swipe their library card.
