A reminder that the Seattle Public Library system will be closed Aug. 31 through Sept. 7

All Library locations will be closed Monday, Aug. 31 through Sunday, Sept. 6 due to citywide budget cuts.

Also, note that Monday, Sept. 7 is the Labor Day holiday and all libraries will be closed. Regular Library operations will resume Tuesday, Sept. 8.

No library services will be available during the one-week closure. Learn more here.

No library computers will be available. Here is a list of north locations with free internet access: http://www.spl.org/closure/computer_access_north.pdf.

The systemwide closure, along with other cuts, will help the library meet a two percent budget reduction - about $1 million, according to the city, and the closure will save approximately $655,000.
