Union County government offices and facilities will be taking a break from their regular hustle and bustle as the Easter weekend approaches. According to a recent announcement from Union County officials, a pause in operations will occur Friday, April 18, in observance of Good Friday, offering employees and residents alike a moment of repose in recognition of the holiday. Public services that are often taken as the backbone of daily life, like library access and municipal transactions, will go on hiatus during this brief intermission.
For those who rely on the Union County Library, both their physical locations and the book drops will remain closed on Friday, April 18, and Saturday, April 19. Information-seekers need not fret, however, as doors will swing open once again come Monday, April 21 with the resumption of customary hours. Resourceful residents can still tap into the library’s digital offerings, a constant that endures even as the physical spaces shutter temporarily. No items will be due, and fines will freeze in place when the library is closed, offering a small respite to those who've lost track of time.
The terrain of leisure will remain accessible, as Cane Creek Park maintains an open invitation to visitors from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., beginning on Good Friday and stretching through the whole of the Easter weekend. Meanwhile, decisions concerning health will have to wait as the Public Health Dental Clinic will fall silent on Friday, only to enliven again with the return of regular business hours on Tuesday, April 22.
Delving into the annals of history or wrapping up real estate matters will pause momentarily as the Register of Deeds will also close its doors on Friday, only to unlock them the following Monday. On another hand, the Union County Landfill and recycling services at Austin Chaney Road carry on undisturbed, loyal to their usual operating hours on both Friday and Saturday. With the exception that all Waste and Recycling Centers, are always shut on Fridays but will welcome the clutter of residential waste once more on Saturday.
Crucial interactions with county services are not altogether out of reach though. The Union County website stands as a beacon for necessities; residents may find solace and solutions there while county workers take their leave. Should any quests for information or assistance go beyond the digital realm, the circuit of County connexion will reactivate on Monday following the holiday. For additional support, individuals may dial 704.283.3500 during the unaffected spans of regular business hours or submit their inquiries electronically, ensuring that their voices are heard, even as offices go quiet.
