Maybe not so easy anymore.
Link to July 15 Los Angeles Times, "Don't go to the library on Sunday. Or Monday."
Excerpt: Budget contractions are squeezing the Los Angeles Public Library, which begins a new schedule of reduced hours this Sunday, July 18. Going forward, the Central Library and all 72 LA Public Library branches will be open just five days, Tuesday through Saturday.
All will be closed on Sundays and Mondays. The new library hours, beginning July 18:
Monday: CLOSED
Tuesday, Central Library: 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.; Branch libraries: 12:30 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Wednesday, all libraries: 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Thursday, Central Library: 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.; Branch libraries: 12:30 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Friday, all libraries: 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Saturday, all libraries: 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Sunday: CLOSED
This means that students who need the computers or Internet access will have to queue up for places on Saturday. People who work regular hours and want to stop at libraries on the weekend will now have to remember Saturday is their only chance. And for many -- students, people with daytime jobs -- getting to the library at all will be a challenge. While the new hours seem paltry, the budget crisis might force even more drastic cuts in service in the future.
F***in' pathetic.
