Excerpt:
Outagamie County Executive Toby Paltzer has asked his staff to come up with a plan that would allow the county to close at least its main administration building one day a week.
"I'm sure we could save money," Paltzer said. The county is bracing for a 40 percent increase in its natural gas bill next year. "If we could shut down the furnace or air conditioning, I think it could have a major effect."
It would be seriously distressing if this trend spread to libraries that provide direct public service. At least one library agency, the Utah State Library, is soon to be been impacted by response to rising energy costs.
From the Library's website. Utah Governor Jon Huntsman has announced Working 4 Utah initiative, extending state government service from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday beginning the first week of August. The Utah State Library is complying with the Governor's request, new business hours are Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
