The Ida Rupp Public Library branches have extended their service hours at all three locations. Beginning on Saturday, May 1, the extension brings the reduced hours of the past year closer to pre-pandemic hours.
“The new schedule adds Saturday hours at all of our locations, which had been discontinued due to Covid-19,” said Library Director Lindsay Faust. “We have also expanded our evening hours to two nights a week, instead of just one for Port Clinton and Marblehead residents. We are providing later evening hours for our Erie Islands Branch patrons.”
Faust said that Marblehead patrons will be excited to see library hours were added on Wednesdays.
