All programs are open to the public and free to attend. Montgomery County Public Library Manager Kelly Stephens emphasized that the library will not be like the stereotypical silent areas because more programming for kids means that more noise will fill the library.
The library is located at 215 South Railroad Avenue in Mount Vernon, and is open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, and from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday. The library is closed on Friday and Sunday. For more information, call (912) 583-2780.
