Library to Expand Hours, Staffing

There will be changes to check out soon at Anne Arundel County libraries.

The library system is adding more staff and expanding hours thanks to $750,000 in funding for the new fiscal year, The Capital Gazette reports.

The system will add 31 full-time positions and 32 part-time jobs, including 14 library associates and 14 circulation assistants, who will start Dec. 30, according to the paper.

“For everybody in the entire community, it’s going to mean a much better access to their library,” Hampton "Skip" Auld, the library system's executive director, told the paper. “For parents and caregivers, it’s going to make a tremendous impact. We’ll have a lot more programs."
