Ribbon-Cutting Celebration Opens the Montgomery County Public Libraries’ Quince Orchard Branch

Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony to reopen the Montgomery County Public Libraries’ (MCPL) Quince Orchard branch. The library is the sixth to be completed under the County’s “refresh” program, which allows the branches to close for a shorter amount of time while saving the taxpayers thousands of dollars.

Hundreds of residents turned out for the ribbon-cutting ceremony to reopen the Montgomery County Public Libraries’ (MCPL) Quince Orchard branch. The library, located at 15831 Quince Orchard Road in Gaithersburg had been closed to be “refreshed” under the Library Refurbishment Level-of-Effort initiative in the County’s Capital Improvement Program.

The improvements to the library included new flooring and painting throughout the library, renovated public restrooms, improved book checkout and customer service area, a new book drop, LED lighting, enhancements to the meeting room, modern furniture and workstations in public and workroom areas, motorized shades, and exterior accessibility (ADA) improvements to the grounds and parking lot and a new bike rack at the entrance.

The library opened immediately after the ribbon-cutting. Branch hours are Sunday 1-5 p.m., Monday -Thursday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
