A new parking plan starts tomorrow, January 2nd at the Bethesda Library:
Under the plan, library patrons using the parking lot will park in numbered spaces, then enter the space number at a kiosk inside the library. This will allow them to park free for two hours. Customers using the library for longer than two hours need only to re-enter the number of their space. There is no time limit on the number of hours library customers may park, as long as the space number is validated every two hours.
After the County Council voted to make parking free at all county libraries, the meters at the Bethesda Library were removed. This led to an influx of non-library users which resulted in a full lot most of the day. Hopefully the new plan will eliminate the freeloaders.
