Celebrate the End of Sunday Hours With a Giveaway!

As the weather heats up, Baltimore County Public Library is adjusting its schedule for the summer season. Sunday, May 18, is the last Sunday Arbutus, Cockeysville, North Point, Owings Mills, Perry Hall, Pikesville and Towson branches are open from 1 to 5 p.m. The decision was based on traditionally lower foot traffic during the summer months. The book drops will remain open seven days a week for your convenience. Sunday hours will resume on Sunday, September 7, at the seven branches listed above. 

Take Us With You 

Join us for a sunny sendoff and then think of us all summer long! We are giving away pails and shovels at our seven branches on Sunday, May 18, while supplies last. Limited to one per family. 

Still Here to Enjoy  

Even when our doors are closed, our digital library is always open. Enjoy books on Libby and CloudLibrary, movies on hoopla and Kanopy, newspapers or magazines on PressReader and more. Library of Things can be borrowed Monday through Saturday for use on Sundays and includes Adventure Backpacks, board games, outdoor activities, telescopes, science kits, fishing poles, early learning kits and more.   

Plus, you can help color our world with this year’s Summer Reading Challenge! Saturday, June 7, through Saturday, August 30, anyone 18 and under can read for 10 hours and fill out a paper game board or enter in on Beanstack. When finished the challenge, come into any of our 18 open branches for a completion prize. Learn more on our Summer Reading Challenge page. 

We look forward to welcoming you Monday through Saturday all summer long—and can’t wait to see you back on Sundays in September!
