I am hoping to be able to add more open hours later this year; we are not open on Fridays, and I'd like to offer at least a few hours of service. Normally, we are open 10am - 9pm Monday through Thursday, then 10am - 5pm Saturdays. I don't think we'll be able to offer a full 7 hours like we do on Saturday, I want to start smaller with about 4 hours. I'm not sure when to put those hours, though, morning or afternoon? I'm sure someone will be displeased no matter what we do! I'd love to hear from libraries that are open for a short time any day of the week, and how you decided upon what hours to offer. I'm also interested in hearing from anyone that may have added hours like this recently, and how it has worked out, any changes you needed to make, etc. I'm not sure how to handle staffing, for instance; can I get by with our current staff, or does that spread us too thin the rest of the week? Lots to consider, I appreciate all input! Donald Priest Director Southgate Veterans Memorial Library 14680 Dix-Toledo Rd. Southgate MI 48195 734-258-3002
