The Hopkinton Public Library announced it will open on Sundays starting this fall.

Starting Sept. 8, the library will be open from noon-4 p.m. on Sundays. The additional hours will extend from Labor Day through Memorial Day.

In a press release, the library credits residents for their support in extending its operating hours. It cites support received during the 2022 Town Meeting for funding four new full-time positions and an increase in hours for three part-time staff.

The library’s extended hours are a response to “community needs and feedback from residents,” with the goal of enhancing access to library resources.

“We look forward to being able to serve those [who] might be unable to come to the library during the week, either due to work or other obligations,” said library director Nanci Hill.

To celebrate the launch of these new hours, the library is hosting a “Super Sundae Sunday!” on Sunday, Sept. 8. Residents are invited to make their own ice cream sundaes with supplies provided by the Friends of the Hopkinton Library.

The event runs from noon-2 p.m. or until supplies run out.
