As the festive season swings into high gear, the City of Peoria has announced a schedule of holiday closures that Peorians should keep in mind. If you've got business to handle or books to return, you'll want to plan ahead. The city offices will be closing early, at noon, on December 24, and they won't be swinging open again until after Christmas Day, according to the City of Peoria official statement. The same goes for January 1 – the doors will stay shut as the city ushers in the New Year.
For those looking to drop off their holiday reading, the Peoria Main Library, located at 8463 W. Monroe Street, and Sunrise Mountain Library, at 21109 N. 98th Avenue, are following suit with the city offices. Patrons who patronize the library services have a narrow window on December 24, with the facilities closing up shop at noon. No need to stress over due dates though; borrowed items initially due during the closure will instead be due the following business day. However, those hoping to slip their returns into the outside bookdrops will find them unavailable during this closure period, as noted on the City of Peoria website.
Meanwhile, the Rio Vista Recreation Center, at 8866 W. Thunderbird Road, is giving residents a chance to squeeze in a workout before the holiday feasting begins, opening early at 5 a.m. and closing at 4 p.m. on December 24 and 31. If you were planning a Christmas Day workout or a New Year's Day jog, you'll have to look elsewhere – the center will be closed on both December 25 and January 1, as stated by the City of Peoria.
Comprehensive information on these holiday hours can be obtained by calling 623-773-8600, or by visiting the city's Rio Vista page. Remember, festive moments call for careful planning, especially when public services take a brief pause, exemplified by these holiday hours shared by the City of Peoria. Make the most of the season, and make sure your holiday plans align with these community announcements.
