The Essex County Library is proud to announce a return to regular service at it’s Ruthven and Cottam branches. After an extended closure that began during the COVID 19 pandemic, Ruthven is set to reopen it’s doors to the public at 9am on Monday, March 6th, with Cottam reopening on Monday, March 20th at 1pm.
“Re-opening the Ruthven and Cottam branches is part of a larger plan to return the Essex County Library to it’s pre-pandemic levels of service. We know that there is a demand out there, and so it’s time to bring library service back to our smaller communities around the County” said CEO/Chief Librarian Adam Craig.
The library recently opened a new branch in Stoney Point and is in the finishing stages of renovating a new location for the Comber branch.
“I am happy to see these community branches re-open and want to thank the Town of Kingsville and its residents for being patient during these extended closures” said Deputy Warden and Library Board Chair Joe Bachetti.
The Ruthven Branch is located at 1695 Elgin Street, Ruthven. The Cottam Branch is located at 122 Fox Street in Cottam. For more information, including hours of operation and upcoming library programming, visit the library website at http://www.essexcountylibrary.
