The city announced this week that Martin Luther King, Jr. Library and Tallyn’s Reach Library will be open on Mondays for the first time after the first of the month, and the Mission Viejo branch will once again be open Mondays.

“This is the first time that Martin Luther King Jr. and Tallyn’s Reach branches will be open more than five days a week,” said Patti Bateman, director of library and cultural services for the city of Aurora. “This is good news for our library patrons and the community of Aurora in general. Every time we have the possibility to expand or add services is an opportunity to serve our community a little bit better.”

The MLK Jr. and Mission Viejo branches will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays, and Tallyn’s Reach will be open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays.
