The Houston County Library will start new hours of operation in February to allow for better computer access.

Weekday hours are extended from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Wednesday and Friday will close at 5 p.m., and there will be no weekend hours beginning Feb. 6.

The decision was made after a survey released by the library revealed that patrons wanted more convenient hours to use computers.

"This way, our computers will stay up until 5:30 p.m., and parents can come in after work and print things off for their kids," Director Robbie Higgins said.

She's seen an uptick in interest in electronic materials, such as DVDs and e-books.

The new hours will be implemented on a trial basis, Higgins said, but could be permanent if successful.
