New library opening hours

Gosford Council has extended its library opening hours on the Peninsula.

The new opening hours came into effect on Monday, May 9.

"Council has recognised the community need for improved access to our local libraries," said council's director of community services Mr Phil Rowland.

"Increasing the opening hours encourages and enhances community education and learning and responds directly to community feedback that officers have received."

Improvements to the previous hours include Woy Woy and Umina Beach libraries being open from 9.30am until 6pm Monday to Friday, with Woy Woy Library being open until 8pm on Thursdays, 2pm on Saturdays and from 1pm to 4pm on Sundays.

Umina Beach Library will be open until 8pm on Tuesdays and 4pm on Saturdays.

Copies of the new hours are available at all libraries and on the Council's web site at www.gosford.nsw.gov.au.
