Friday hours resume Sept. 10
Excerpt: City council members have ended a dispute with Wheaton Public Library officials by abandoning a proposal to mandate library hours.
The library board had been in hot water with council members over a plan to close the facility on Fridays. But then last month, the library board reversed its decision.
So the city council on Monday chose not to vote on a proposed law that would have required the library to be open six days a week during the summer and all seven days during the school year.
Councilman Phil Suess said the measure is unnecessary because library board members have agreed to reopen the facility from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Fridays starting Sept. 10.
