Hoquiam and Aberdeen Timberland libraries to add open hours　

In response to public demand and library usage patterns, the Aberdeen Timberland Library will be open two additional hours per week and the Hoquiam Timberland Library will be open six additional hours. The libraries have reorganized employee schedules so there will be no extra cost for staffing the new hours.

The Aberdeen library will open at 10 a.m. Monday through Thursday (instead 10:30).

The Hoquiam library will open at 10 a.m. Monday through Saturday (instead of 11).

The new opening times are more in line with local business hours, offering people more opportunities to visit the library at the same time they’re making other stops. Both of the libraries usually find up to 15 people waiting at the doors before opening.

For more information, please call the Aberdeen Timberland Library at 533-2360 or the Hoquiam Timberland Library at 532-1710.

Timberland Regional Library serves the information, reading and lifelong learning needs of the Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston county public at 27 community public libraries and 7 library service partner locations. The library system is funded by local property taxes. For information on any subject, people can telephone Timberland’s Central Reference Service librarians toll-free at 1-800-562-6022. Or they can visit the TRL Web site at www.trlib.org. Anyone needing special accommodations to participate in a library’s program may contact the library one week in advance.
