Greenwich Library Hours To Be Extended During Exam Week

Greenwich Library will be offering extended hours to accommodate the study needs of high school students during midterm exams in January, starting this week.

The Main Library will remain open from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 14 and Thursday, Jan. 15. (There won’t be extended hours on Friday and Saturday this week — the regular schedule applies.) Extended hours also are scheduled from Tuesday, Jan. 20 through Thursday, Jan. 22 for public and private school exam weeks. In addition, the Library will remain open on Sunday, Jan. 18 from 1 to 9 p.m.

Library staff will be available to assist with reference questions.

The library will be closed on Monday, Jan. 19 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The library is primarily open for students, but anyone can use the facility during these extended hours. The Library Café will extend its hours until 7 p.m. on exam weekdays for students to purchase study break snacks, but will not be open on Sunday, Jan. 18.

“We are pleased that Greenwich students view the Library as their preferred study space and we make sure that they feel welcome,” said Greenwich Library Director Barbara Ormerod-Glynn said in a statement. “Offering extended hours during these critical weeks gives students much-needed additional time to prepare for their tests.”

Because students prefer to study in groups, the noise level in the library may be a little higher than usual, both during extended hours and regular library hours on exam days.
