Beginning Monday, April 10th, the Penn Valley Library is extending Open+ hours to weeknights from 4 pm to 10 pm. During set hours, authorized patrons have self-service access to the building, including access to the internet, public computers, self-checkout, and holds pickup. Open+ account holders must complete an orientation with library staff before they can use this self-service system.
Open+ is a system powered by the library integration technology company, Bibliotheca. It allows patrons to access the facility with their library card outside of regular operational hours. To use Open+, patrons must have a library account in good standing, sign an agreement form, and take a short orientation with staff.
With these extended Open+ hours, the library will be able to offer patrons more opportunity to pick up holds, browse books and movies, use public computers, and use the space to work or study. Open+ will now be available Monday mornings from 7 am to 9 am, Monday through Friday from 4 pm to 10 pm, and Saturdays and Sundays from 8 am to 8 pm. For more information visit the Penn Valley Library Open+ access webpage or call the Penn Valley Library at (530) 432-5764.
