The Gwinnett County Public Library could trim hours at its 15 branches in November unless it finds more money.

Board of Trustees Chairman Phillip Saxton said the board will use fund balances to maintain the branches’ seven-day, 53-hour-per-week schedule until “around November.”

“Without additional funding the public can expect that we may have to cut our hours of operation,” Saxton said at Monday’s board meeting.

Gwinnett County and the state have reduced funding for the library. Saxton said the board will try to raise money from the private sector to maintain library services.
