The San Antonio Library branches have extended their service hours. The library system will add four additional public service hours to their schedules which will increase the service hours from 60 to 64 a week.

On Mondays, the Bazan, Collins Garden, Cortez, Johnston, Landa, Memorial, San Pedro and Westfall branches and the Tobin Library at Oakwell will open at 9:00 a.m. instead of 1:00 p.m. The Brook Hollow, Carver, Cody Forest Hills, Great Northwest, Guerra, Igo, Las Palmas, Maverick, McCreless, Pan American, Semmes, and Thousand Oaks branches will all stay open an additional four hours on Thursday evenings.
 

The Bannwolf Library at Regan High School will be open an additional two hours per week during the academic school year and will be open for an additional four hours per week during the summer break.

The additional hours is the latest enhancement the library system has added to their services for the San Antonio community. Over the past year, they have also implemented an automated reservation system for public access computers, automated telephone renewal for borrowed items, automatic e-mail notification of patrons when their materials are almost due and printed receipts showing due dates, so customers do not have to wait for borrowed items to be stamped.

 
Now, the library is just a short drive or computer key stroke away. For more information the new services hours, visit www.sanantonio.gov/library.
