Alpharetta Library Hours Will Be Restored April 1

The Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System's new hours will take effect next week.

The Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System will soon have new hours in effect at each of its locations.

In January, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners unanimously passed the 2015 budget, which included allocation for the restoration of hours for all branches of the system. These new hours will take effect on Wednesday, April 1, the library system said in a news release.

“This is a great day for our libraries and the communities we serve throughout Fulton County,” said Interim Library Director Gayle Holloman. “By expanding the library hours, we meet the critical needs of residents of all ages in our libraries in every part of the county.”

In 2014, budget reductions meant significant cuts to library hours including the elimination of Friday hours at many branches. As a result of the action taken by the county commission, hours will be restored to their 2013 levels.
