Library Hours of Operation in Monterey County is Shifting in October

 

Effective October 1, 2024, 10 branches of Monterey County Free Libraries (MCFL) will be adjusting their hours of operation. The number of hours that libraries are open to the public will remain the same. The changes are minor shifts to accommodate library users.

MCFL conducted 2 month long community surveys in the summer and fall of 2023 to get input from community members regarding convenient hours for library use. With input from computer data and based on feedback from the community members and staff open hours were adjusted and approved by the Monterey County Board of Supervisors. 

Library Director Hillary Theyer says, “We collected input from our communities to respond to each community’s needs within our capacity. Morning hours in several locations were in higher demand. Open hours will not be reduced, just shifted.”

The following branches will be adjusting their hours of operation starting October 1, 2024: Aromas, Buena Vista, Carmel Valley, Castroville, King City, Parkfield, Prunedale, San Ardo, San Lucas, and Soledad.

For details about the changes in hours of operation for these branches, please visit our webpage at eMCFL.org and look under Locations. 

For questions, feel free to call your local branch library at 800-322-6884 or the Administrative Office at 831-883-7573.
