New hours for the library!
Starting after Labor Day, the Avon Library will be open until 8:30 on Wednesday evenings, just like we are on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. We hope this change makes it easier for you to visit the library to browse, borrow, socialize and study.
We will also be returning to our full day Saturday hours, with the library open from 10-5, on Saturdays, beginning September 8.
All library hours, including holiday closings, can be found at avonctlibrary.info/hours.
