Proposed Changes in Library Hours

Your input is requested! The Racine Public Library is considering a change in the hours open per week, by reallocating resources, to provide more consistent hours. The new schedule would be more efficient without increasing costs.

The proposal would increase hours on Thursday evenings, (9am to 8pm), Fridays (11am to 4pm), and Saturdays (11am to 4pm); decrease hours Monday-Wednesday (9am to 8pm); and change hours on Sundays (1pm to 4pm). The current hours are:

Monday-Wednesday, 9am-9pm

Thursday, 9am-5:30pm

Friday, 1-5:30pm

Saturday, 1-5pm

Sundays (October-April), 2-5pm

The proposed hours are:

Monday-Thursday, 9am-8pm

Fridays and Saturdays, 11am-4pm

Sundays, October-May, 1-4pm (closing the Sunday before and after Christmas; open during May until the week before Memorial Day)

The Board of Trustees is seeking public input before making a decision on the proposed schedule at their August 21, 2008 meeting. Please fill out the survey on the library’s website (www.racinelibrary.info), or call Jessica MacPhail, Library Director, with your comments (262.636.9252).
