Some local post offices to curtail hours on Saturday

CHAMPAIGN – Several post offices in the Champaign-Urbana area will have abbreviated hours – or will be closed – Saturday in connection with the Fourth of July weekend.

As usual, all post offices are closed today in observance of the federal holiday. Mail will be delivered on Saturday, but those planning postal transactions Saturday may need to adjust when and where they go. Here's the Saturday schedule for post offices in Champaign, Urbana and Savoy:
