    …why would they disrupt weekend hours instead of the slow-day hours? At my library, it wouldn’t matter if we were down to two people and a prayer, we’d still be open on Saturdays. (:looks back to that one year everybody was out with the flu & there were two of us to cover the entire Saturday shift alone: :shivers:)

      Right?? At my library, Saturdays and Sundays are the busiest days. It’s almost like people go to the library on days they don’t have work or school haha

        In my NYS county, our local library is funded by our property taxes. Also the county library system gets funds from not only our taxes but also the state income taxes. The city library system (NYC) also gets funds from our income, sales, regular transport fees and regular sales taxes. My complaint is the requirement to recertify for library borrowing privileges. I pay a lot. I expect the services from the state that I pay for. I have lived in shitty low tax states so I know how much they suck in comparison.
