San Ramon Library to Re-Open on Mondays Beginning March 31
Beginning Monday, March 31, the San Ramon Library will re-open on Mondays, from 10 a.m.–8 p.m.
These hours were previously reduced as part of budget-balancing measures for the 2024–25 fiscal year. With the passage of Measure N (a 1% local sales tax measure) in November 2024, additional revenue will offset the expenses associated with restoring these hours.
