CHANGE IN LIBRARY SCHEDULE:  FRIDAY 10AM – 3PM

To the Friends and Patrons of the Ames Free Library:
Due to budgetary constraints, the library must execute a series of cost-cutting measures.
It was decided that the number of hours that the library is open would be reduced by two hours a week. Starting September 3, Fridays will be the shortest day, with the library open from 10am – 3pm. Please keep in mind that we will be open on Saturdays, starting September 11. The schedule for all other days remains the same.

Monday - Thursday, 10:00 am - 8:00 pm
Friday, 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Saturday, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm (Starting September 11)
Sundays and Holidays Closed

In addition, the library’s extensive collections of magazines, newspapers and databases were carefully reviewed so that the least used subscriptions could be canceled.  Multiple copies of popular books and movies will also be reduced.

Your concern for the library’s well-being is appreciated. On our part, despite these unavoidable cutbacks, we will do our utmost to continue to provide the high level of service that you have come to expect.
