I guess it just really surprises me that other libraries don't have this figured out before the year has started. I've worked at many public libraries and they've all had their holiday closing schedules set and posted on line by the beginning of the year...and a policy in place for when this perfect storm of the holidays falling on a weekend happens.

Remember what you do this year...it's going to happen again in 2022!

Hi all--

Lapeer District Library locations could be closed Dec 23 - 26 and Dec 30-Jan 2 as staff policy dictates that there are two holiday days:  the Eve and the Day.  Dec 23 covers the Saturday 24th, and the 26th covers the Sunday 25th. Ditto for that following weekend.  HOWEVER--I am going to ask our part-timers and subs if they'd like to keep the library open on the 23rd and the 30th.  Only three locations are open on Friday, and as it's a 9-5 day, only one shift would be needed for each branch.  Our administrative office would be closed for the full four days.

Subject: [Michlib-l]  Holiday Closings

Good Morning Everyone!
Could fellow librarians tell me how they are planning their holiday closings
for this Christmas and New Year's? Christmas and New Year's fall on a Sunday
this season. Do you observe Monday as the holiday(s)? Also how long are you
closed for this holiday break?

Thank you,
Jane Himmel
