Passage of Prop. L allows for extended library hours

The new year will usher in extended library hours at the St. Louis County Library – Daniel Boone Branch in Ellisville.

Funds made available by the passage of Proposition L will allow the library to extend its operating hours from 1-5 p.m. on Sundays, beginning Jan. 1.

Branch hours at Meramec Valley and Eureka Hills also have been extended and will now match the rest of the County Library system, operating from 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Monday through Thursday; and from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Proposition L, approved by 58 percent of the voters on Nov. 6, increased the library’s tax ceiling by 6 cents to 26 cents per $100 valuation. The increase will fund new branches where needed, repair and remodel others and enhance service at all 20 locations.

Planning for the new projects will begin in 2013.
