Peoria's local government offices will be calling it a day this Memorial Day, giving the city's workers a pause to honor the fallen on Monday, May 27. In step with the holiday, both Peoria Main Library and Sunrise Mountain Library, situated respectively at 8463 W. Monroe Street and 21109 N. 98th Avenue, will not be opening their doors on the day for bookworms, as confirmed by a recent announcement. Meanwhile, those who hit the books a bit too close to the deadline can breathe a sigh of relief - any materials due on May 27 get an extra day's grace, not needing to return till May 28, and the usual after-hours bookdrop will be out of commission during the shutdown.
For Peoria's active folks, the Rio Vista Recreation Center has rearranged its schedule, opening bright and early at 5 a.m. but winding down earlier than usual at 4 p.m., so plan the workout accordingly, if you're planning to break a sweat while others are firing up the grills for a Memorial Day cookout. If questions are lingering about the day's arrangements, the staff at Rio can be reached at 623.773.8600; more details are a click away at the city's website.
And if Memorial Day has Peoria's residents wondering about their trash collection, fret not, the city's got that sorted out too. To keep the garbage from piling up during the holiday, Peoria has published their solid waste pickup plan, which can be found easily for those in need on the city's website.
