Good Friday
by Reed, Nyama 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

We used to be open Good Friday, but just change to being closed in order to come into alignment with when the Village Hall is closed. They call it "Spring Break Friday." They are also closed "Friday After Thanksgiving" which we are now in alignment on. Within our system, almost all libraries are closed Black Friday and half are closed Good Friday. Since we haven't done it before, I don't have any patron feedback yet on it, but staff is very happy to have those two holiday Fridays off. Sincerely, Nyama Nyama Y.
