2 Total responses 5 Several libraries who currently provide only 9.00 - 5.00 summer vacation opening are aware of demand for more and are thinking about trials with longer hours. Various staffing arrangements are in place - often a mix of expedients in the same library. One library commented in detail that demand was not borne out by actual use and that having operated various evening arrangements with staff sometimes outnumbering users, they might now be looking at trying some weekend opening.
Few people are creative with weekday hours.
It has been suggested to us that we open 11.00 - 7.00 on vacation weekdays. The nearest anyone came to this was opening at 9.30 or 10.00 on particular days.
