Concord Library Hours Change

The system will have new hours starting Sept. 4, in Penacook, and Sept. 8, at the main library on Green Street.

In Penacook, the branch library, located on 3 Merrimack St., will increase its hours, adding a Friday section, from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. The hours are increasing to address an uptick in branch library activity raised by library employees and elected officials during budget talks earlier this year.

The Penacook branch will be open from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Mondays; 2:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesdays; the new Friday hours; and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

At the main library on Green Street, Sunday hours return, beginning Sept. 8. The library will be opened from 1 to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

Starting Sept. 8, main branch library hours will run from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday; and the Sunday hours.
