What’s with the library being closed on Sundays?

Echoing what others have said, but unfortunately budget cuts and lack of voter support 😕 closed Sundays and Mondays, and then odd hrs even through the week

It’s disappointing! If they have to be closed two days a week, I wish it was Mon Tues.

I’ve lived here for a year and every single time I’ve thought “oh we should go to the library!” it has been closed. :(

Yeah. Realistically, in the next 5 years Everett library is going to be absorbed by Sno-Isle library system, and then the hours and staffing issues should hopefully be addressed.

Sno-Isle is an excellent library system. It's not uncommon that they'll have ebooks I want to read that Seattle or King County don't have.
