Bridgewater, NJ. June 15, 2012. – The Somerset County Library System (SCLS) is adding hours this summer and fall. The library system will maintain the same operating hours on Saturday now throughout the year, including the summer months. And all libraries will remain open on two State holidays for the first time this fall.
During past summers, each of the nine branches of SCLS chose whether or not to move to a shortened schedule on Saturdays. This summer, operating hours at each branch on Saturday will remain constant throughout the rest of the year.
On past Columbus Day and Veterans Day holidays, only the Bridgewater Library remained open at SCLS and from 9 am – 5 pm. This year, all library branches will remain open regular hours on those two holidays, giving patrons additional access to the facilities.
“We are always looking at how we can better meet patron needs. With some cost savings in other areas of our budget, SCLS is now pleased to expand our operating hours in the summer and add two additional days in the fall,” according to SCLS library director, Brian Auger.
“In this vein, SCLS will now be open system-wide on Lincoln’s Birthday and Good Friday, starting in 2013. Again, it is with the purpose of providing more operating hours for our patrons without costing tax payers anything additional,” added Keith McCoy, SCLS assistant director.
Patrons with further questions can call SCLS at (908) 526-4016 or visit http://www.sclsnj.org. The Somerset County Library System has branches in Bridgewater, Bound Brook, Hillsborough, at the Mary Jacobs Library in Rocky Hill, North Plainfield, Peapack & Gladstone, Somerville, Warren Township and Watchung. Manville will be joining the System on July 1.
