Marathon County Public Library system to change hours starting Jan. 12

WAUSAU – The Marathon County Public Library will offer weekend access to all of its libraries beginning Jan. 12, the library announced recently. In addition, the Wausau headquarters will be closed on Sundays.

All locations will now be open Monday through Saturday, providing patrons with weekend access to their local libraries in all areas of the county: Athens, Edgar, Hatley, Marathon City, Mosinee, Rothschild, Spencer, Stratford and Wausau. Saturday hours had previously only been offered at four of the nine locations. In addition, new morning, afternoon and evening hours will be offered.

A small number of recurring events, such as story times and book clubs, will be affected by the change in hours and will now meet at new times. For updated times for those (and all other) events, visit MCPL’s website at www.mcpl.us. For more information, call or visit your nearest Marathon County Public Library location.
