This summer, we opened up our doors early on the especially hot days so that people could come in to cool off. We got such great feedback that we decided to change our hours and we are now opening at 9:30 am Monday-Saturday. The other feedback that we received was that our Monday movies should start earlier. So we have switched the time to 6 pm. We also received requests to expand our movie showings to documentaries. Starting in October, we will be showing one documentary a month on Sundays. Please let us know if there is a documentary you would like to see and we will look into the licensing. All of this helps us help you "Read, Discover, Learn & Grow"
