The Crockett Library reopens July 7. Both the smaller Rodeo and Crockett libraries have been operating with front door service due to social distancing guidelines.

 

The County has increased the number of base hours it funds at each library from 35 to 40, which increases open hours at eight libraries. Another nine libraries have boosted hours thanks to funding from city partners, the County said.
