STRATTON — According to Wendy Boyle, Stratton Librarian, the Stratton Public Library will be operating under new reduced hours when she takes a leave of absence next month; this, however, is only temporary.

Starting Feb. 16, the library will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. These hours will be in effect for about six weeks.

After the six-week period, the library will return to its regular business hours: Monday, Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
