New Library Hours
Don't forget that the library's new hours begin as of July 1, 2007,. The library
now opens each day at 10 am, except Tuesday when it opens at noon. The
library remains open until 8 PM on Tuesday and Thursday but it is no
longer open after 5 on Thursdays. These adjusted hours are the result of
recent budget cuts. Patrons may renew their materials online by
visiting the web site www.warehamfreelibrary.org and selecting SAILS
catalog.
The changes in times reflect an 8-hour reduction in hours open to the public
due to a budget cut voted at Town Meeting in April.
