These changes allow for maximum access to Library staff and services while maintaining responsible stewardship over public funding.

Beginning June 1, operating hours at all DML branches:

  • Monday: 10 am - 7 pm
  • Tuesday: 10 am - 7 pm
  • Wednesday: 9 am - 6 pm
  • Thursday: 10 am - 7 pm
  • Friday: 9 am - 6 pm
  • Saturday: 9 am - 6 pm

Additionally, policy changes include:

  • The Chaperone Policy will not be in effect at the Main Library.
  • Southeast Branch: Open without restriction. No appointments necessary.

These changes will be in effect until August 2, 2025. The Library will return to previous policy and operating hours. Beginning September 7 the Main Library will be open on Sundays from 1 – 5 pm.
