Chevy Chase, Potomac Libraries Expand Hours

From Montgomery Community Media:

Hours for the Chevy Chase Library, located at 8005 Connecticut Ave., and Potomac Library, located at 10101 Glenolden Drive, have expanded beginning Monday, Nov. 16.

The libraries are now open Monday through Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“I am pleased the hours are extended at the Chevy Chase and Potomac libraries to provide residents with more time to access the extensive programs and services offered,” said County Executive Ike Leggett. “Our libraries play a critical role as a community anchor that supports learning and connectivity to literacy and information.”

The expanded hours, recommended by Council member Roger Berliner, were approved by the County Council in the FY2016 budget.

“Libraries are one of our most beloved and important community assets. Yet, after several difficult budgets, we still haven’t fully restored the hours of operation for all of our county’s branches to their pre-recessionary levels. That is why I recommended that we add additional funding into our most recent county budget to accomplish this goal,” said Berliner.
