Our public library has 6 locations throughout town. We have a county library too, that has 10 locations throughout the area. The county library closest to our house is kind of small, and more for reserving and picking up, rather than perusing for hours and finding all sorts of stuff. The public library closest to our house is larger, and has more of a selection. After finding them, we began going there just about every Friday (our day off). We'd collect movies for the weekend, and magazines, books, etc. It's great.
Until last Friday when we went in, and they told us they had new hours for 2005. So here's their hours: T 12pm to 8pm Th, Sa 10am to 6pm Su, M, W, F Closed. Looks like we've lost our weekly Friday visit to the library.
Granted, we can visit other branches, but they're not as close. And the county library is ok, you just have to figure out what you want, reserve it and get it to our branch for pick up. And then you have to wait until 1:00pm when they open. I'd not mind going to the public library downtown main branch, but you have to pay for parking there, or walk over a mile to park in free areas.
I'm a bit bummed about this. I'm not sure why they decided to change their hours and days (probably financial reasons) but I think this may come back to bite them.

you should write them and let them know that friday was your library day and that you really wish it would be open on friday! i mean is is for the people so they might listen.
I agree. write 'them' whoever that is and explain your situation. maybe just print your blog and paste it on the door of the library. put it in every book you return, and leave flyers under the windshield wipers of passing cars (if they stop at a stop)
but really, you should raise the issue, thats a public servant job and if they arn't serving the public how can they be the servant they are suppose to be? contact sarah and see if you can do an interlibrary loan for new hours.
hey, nice selection on the new blog layout. the pink one was well.. 'pinky'. thats actually a word jen and I use (I have pink stuff too) so I'm not saying the last color scheme was all that bad.
Stupid library. Probably tax cuts... stupid people voting. Hope something can work out ok for you.
I went to the local library here to see what videos they have - only have vhs... wasn't impressed... so much for that idea.
what were you hoping for, 'beta'?
