What’s happening at the Wallingford Branch?
- With more morning and evening hours across all libraries, the new Wallingford Branch schedule adds 16 open hours per week.

- To increase access to materials in this region, the Library has installed a 24/7 holds Pickup Locker at the nearby Northeast Branch

– 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Wallingford could use more books now that Green Lake is closed. Thousands, maybe a million, books sit lonely in Green Lake Branch. Wallingford has 2 side wall areas now covered in black with posters– these could hold 2 floor to ceiling shelves with books.
