Reader questions
What should I do if I arrive right at closing time?
Staff will announce final call approximately 10 minutes before closing, and you must finish using materials and exit by the posted lock time to avoid penalties.
Are Redding Library hours the same at every branch?
No, each branch follows its own schedule, so Downtown and Eastside may stay open later than North and South branches on evenings and weekends.
Can I request exceptions for special events at Redding Library hours?
Only management can approve temporary extensions, and such changes are posted on the website and at the front desk when weather or community emergencies arise. On legal holidays, most branches operate on reduced Sunday Service or close entirely, while winter storms may trigger same-day closures announced via phone alerts and digital banners.
