Library Board works with localities to restore branch hours

Fredericksburg, Virginia, September 20, 2023 - Central Rappahannock Regional Library’s Board of Trustees voted at their September 11 meeting to reinstate Fredericksburg Branch hours on Tuesdays from 9:00-1:00, Salem Church Branch on Thursdays from 9:00-1:00, and to keep Porter Branch open on Wednesdays from 5:00-8:00.


Porter Branch Wednesday hours have already been reinstated to 9:00-8:00.

Fredericksburg and Salem Church branches will reinstate the additional hours for FY24 beginning the week of October 2.

  • Fredericksburg Branch Tuesday hours will be 9:00-8:00.
  • Salem Church Branch Thursday hours will be 9:00-8:00.


For hours at all locations, see librarypoint.org/locations.


The Board authorized a one-time use of the library's fund balance to cover the FY24 budget shortfall. As a result of this decision, no additional monies are being requested from any of the jurisdictions in support of the FY24 budget. For more information, see Understanding the Library Budget.

Library Board of Trustees members are appointed by and represent their jurisdictions, donating their time as advocates for the public. Trustees work closely with the Library Director and Deputy Director to determine library policy, adopt budgets, and support library legislation on a state and national level. Trustees also promote the library's services, classes, and events in their interactions with the community.

The full list of the Board of Trustees can be found at librarypoint.org/board-of-trustees.
