The renovated and expanded Cos Cob Branch Library is now open. The project added 1,120 square feet to the branch, mainly devoted to a new 857-square foot community room.
The interior layout shifted the children’s section and moved the adult section to the western part of the building, providing nearly 600 square feet of additional space for children and young adults.
New branch hours are: Monday, 12:00pm to 8:00pm, Tuesday though Thursday, 9:00am to 6:00pm, Friday and Saturday 9:00am to 5:00pm. Closed Sundays.
