Library extending hours

Crittenden County Public Library is adjusting its hours in order to better serve its after-5 visitors. Beginning May 5, the library will remain open until 6 p.m., Mondays and Tuesdays. Previoulsy, the facility was open past 5 p.m., only on Mondays, closing at 7 p.m.

Library Director Regina Merrick said the change in hours does not add additional staff time and should benefit more library goers than remaining open late only one day. Traffic, she said, has been heavy on Mondays between 5 and 6 p.m., but very light the last hour.

New library hours as of Monday are:

• Monday, 9 a.m., to 6 p.m.
  
• Tuesday, 9 a.m., to 6 p.m.;
  
• Wednesday, 9 a.m., to 1 p.m.,
  
• Thursday, 9 a.m., to 5 p.m.,
  
• Friday, 9 a.m., to 5 p.m., and
  
• Saturday, 9 a.m., to 1 p.m.
