Peoria Public Library North Branch will change library hours to be open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. beginning Saturday, February 4.

Since opening May 14 of 2011, the branch had been open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, although all other branches open at 10:00 a.m. After gathering statistics for the past 6 months, it was noted that people were not using the branch between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00, but many people were coming in just before 5:00. The change in hours will better meet the needs of the North Branch users.
