Saturday Opening Dates for 2008
As part of our effort to make our library more accessible, this year we will be open 7 extra Saturdays in addition to our regular once-a-month Saturday opening. Most of the extra Saturdays will coincide with an exhibition or special event at our centre. The Saturday hours will be extended by an hour. Our new hours will be 12pm to 5pm.
Please check back for more extra Saturday opening updates.
We hope that these changes will make it easier for you to visit us!
