More Open Hours for Libraries

Washoe County Library patrons now have more to look forward to on Mondays.

The Library Board of Trustees approved new hours for seven Washoe County Library branches, including Monday hours at five additional locations.  The new schedule, which went into effect Monday, January 4, adds 36 open hours at the following libraries:

• Downtown Reno
• Northwest Reno
• Senior Center
• Sierra View
• South Valleys

The Verdi Community Library and Nature Center hours were also shifted to better accommodate the families of Verdi Elementary School.
