Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot and Chicago Public Library (CPL) Commissioner Andrea Telli on Monday announced the rollout of Sunday hours at nine additional library branches beginning December 22nd. Branches will continue to roll out implementation of Sunday hours throughout 2020 in all 81 of CPL’s branch locations. Mayor Lightfoot and CPL Commissioner Andrea Telli first announced the planned Sunday hours expansion in June 2019 as part of an ongoing effort by CPL and the Mayor’s Office to ensure library services are more equitable and accessible for all Chicagoans. The first nine branches set to open on December 22 are Portage-Cragin, Northtown, Dunning, Little Italy, Toman, Hall, Whitney Young, West Pullman, and Chicago Lawn. Legler Regional, which will open next year with Sunday hours, is currently under renovation, and therefore, three surrounding branches – Douglass, Richard M. Daley, and Austin – are already open on Sundays to continue to provide comprehensive service to the area. Lastly, in addition to Harold Washington Library, two of CPL’s regional branches – Sulzer Regional and Woodson Regional –are also already open on Sundays.
