Thanks to funds from the seven-year, 2012 voter-approved Library levy, The Seattle Public Library will restore Friday operating hours at the High Point, International District/Chinatown, South Park and University branches starting July 1.
These four Library locations will now be open every day of the week. New open hours will be: 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
To celebrate, the Library is launching “Find it on Friday!” with four collectible trading cards featuring architectural images from the branches with new Friday open hours. For a limited time, Library patrons can pick up a branch trading card at each of the four locations with newly added Friday hours. When patrons locate where the photo on the card was taken, they will receive a collectible stamp.
HOW TO PLAY
- Pick up a branch trading card from Library staff.
- Find the spot at the branch where the photo on the card was taken.
- Tell Library staff the location of the photo spot is and ask for a stamp.
- Did you Find it on Friday? In addition to a collectible stamp, you get a gold star!
Cards and stamps can be collected by visiting the High Point, International District/Chinatown, South Park and University branches from July 1 until Aug. 31, 2016. Cards for other Library locations will be available later this year.
To show love for the Library, patrons are encouraged to take a selfie with their trading cards and share it on social media using #finditatspl.
