Calling all Niagara Falls artists
Spring is revealing all sorts of new things and your library is too! The Niagara Falls Public Library is excited to announce changes to our hours of operation, effective April 30.
The new hours will offer more consistency and access to services across all branches in the city. The following hours will begin April 30: Victoria Avenue Library and Community Centre Library, Monday - Thursday 9 a.m.- 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Stamford Centre Library, Monday and Thursday 9 a.m.- 8 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Chippawa Library (hours remain the same) Monday 1:30 p.m.- 8 p.m., Wednesday 10 a.m.- 8 p.m., Friday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.- 3 p.m.
These hours will offer more consistency and be in effect year-round at NFPL, which is a change from the library’s traditional schedule of reduced hours over the summer.
In addition to new operating hours, your library will engage in pilot projects of extended Friday hours from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday hours from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. will be tested at the Community Centre Library throughout May and June.
