Starting April 5, the Cholla branch of the Phoenix Public Library, located in the inner circle of Metrocenter, will be closed on Fridays as a result of city budget cuts.
Cholla joins the Cesar Chavez, Ironwood, Juniper, Mesquite, Palo Verde and Saguaro branches in Friday closures. Acacia, Agave, Century, Desert Broom, Desert Sage, Harmon, Ocotillo and Yucca will be closed on Sundays and Mondays.
The main branch, the Burton Barr Central Library, will remain open seven days a week.
All library hours will be as follows: Monday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Tuesday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m.
At the Burton Barr library, service reductions will make the Accessibility Center, which provides materials to disabled patrons, available by appointment only.
You can reach the libraries at (602) 262-4636 (if anyone's there) or http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org.
