Hi everyone! If you have the time and energy, I would appreciate if you could let me know what federal holidays your library is closed on. Our library is closed for some federal holidays, but not all, and it seems to bring some confusion to staff and patrons. I would like to go over these days with the library board but would like to hear what other libraries are closed for first. Thanks in advance! Abbie LaFountaine JC Wheeler Library PO Box 226 1576 S.

The federal holidays on which we are open are Columbus Day, Veterans Day, and Presidents Day. I don't know the rationale. Jill Rauh, Public Services Librarian Benton Harbor Public Library 213 E.

We are open MLK Jr. Day, Washington's Birthday, Juneteenth, and Veterans' Day. We also have a floating holiday that lets us close an extra day; for example, if Christmas is on Thursday, we would also close Friday. -- Cheryl Smith, Director Timothy C.

We are closed for these federal holidays: New Year's Day MLK Day Memorial Day Juneteenth - we close at 3 so we can participate in our city's Juneteenth celebration starting at 4. Independence Day Labor Day Thanksgiving Christmas For some of the holidays we are closed for more than the holiday itself (like New Year's Eve in addition to New Year's Day). We are open on President's, Columbus, and Veterans' Days and full-time staff get 24 hours of floating holiday time off in exchange.
