Anne Arundel County libraries will end Sunday hours for the remainder of the summer, joining cuts in branch hours and purchases of new materials as casualties of a shrunken budget.

Annapolis, West County and North County libraries will resume, Sept. 7, but Severna Park and Crofton libraries will no longer be open Sundays. Nine other branches do not have Sunday hours, while the Maryland City branch has separate funding that allows it to remain open Sundays. The first Sunday closing will be next weekend, ending a more-than-30-year tradition of Sunday hours. The County Council cut about $1.18 million from the library system's budget for the fiscal year beginning Tuesday. The operations budget, usually about $16 million, has been reduced by $400,000.
