Starting tomorrow limited Saturday hours:
Dear New Boston Community,
We continually strive to balance providing exceptional library services while maintaining fiscal responsibility and the well-being of our dedicated staff. After careful review and evaluation of library usage, operating costs, and budget constraints, we have made the difficult, but necessary decision, to adjust our open hours.
Starting Saturday, August 28, we will be closed on Saturdays, except for the second Saturday of each month. This includes the inability to reserve our meeting rooms on those days. By reducing the operational costs of being open (electricity, a/c, wear and tear on the building, etc.), we will be able to maintain the quality of service that our residents deserve and have come to expect.
We understand that reducing hours impacts your daily routines and access to our resources, and we do not make this decision lightly. We wanted to take the opportunity to explain why this is taking place. We will reevaluate our hours in March after the vote on the 2027 budget.
Please be assured that all our regular services remain available to you, including access to our digital resources which are available 24/7.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
Upcoming open Saturdays:
-September 12th (This is our Friends annual book sale!)
-October 10th (We will be closed Monday, Oct 12th for Columbus Day)
-November 14th
