The Montana Branch began offering self-service hours on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, via Open+, a comprehensive self-service model that provides controlled access to the library.
Community members who are pre-approved will be able to access the branch with a swipe of their Santa Monica Public Library Card on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. - noon. Self-service hours allow users to pick up items on reserve, use the library space, access materials and resources, and use an internet computer.
