Library · Ruth Enlow Library of Garrett County

The county library, five branches, free to walk into. On a wet afternoon it's the most reliable indoor room in Garrett County: warm, quiet, has a bathroom, and nobody minds how long you sit there. Every branch keeps different hours, and three of the five shut at lunchtime on Saturday.

  • The Friendsville branch is not on Chestnut Street right now. It's operating from the Friendsville Senior Center at 947 Community Drive while the building is renovated.
  • Kitzmiller is closed Saturday and Sunday. Every other branch opens Saturday morning.
  • The library closes for holidays and for some local festivals. Those dates aren't in this record yet.

What's inside

  • Five branches across the county
  • Oakland is the main branch and keeps the longest hours

Every branch, and when it's open

All five keep different hours, and the differences are the whole point of the table. Kitzmiller is shut both weekend days. Everywhere else opens Saturday morning and three of them shut again at one.
