EXTENDED HOURS ON SATURDAY

Renfrew Public Library will be opening longer hours. On Saturdays the Library will be opening up to 4 PM instead of 2 PM. Last year as a part of Strategic Plan Library Board did a Community Survey of Library services. Extending Library Services on weekends was suggested by good number of peoples. The Library Board responded positively to this popular demand and the Town Council approved the extended hours on a three months trial basis in 2006 budget. In January  evaluation will be made to decide if the extended hours will be continued in 2007.
