Link to July 6 Charlotte Observer article, "Libraries start shorter hours today".
Excerpt: The six regional libraries will be open four days a week, for 34 hours total. And the 12 community libraries will be open 32 hours a week, on four days. The new schedule also means five-day-a-week operations this summer for the main branch of the library and ImaginOn, although those two facilities will switch to a six-day schedule in September.
