New Haven restores Saturday library branch hours. (New Haven Register, 9/28/2011)
Excerpt: The city where officials stress the importance of building strong neighborhoods and academic success has taken a concrete step to that end by restoring Saturday library hours at all the branches.
Those sacred Saturday hours, when families are likely to use the library together because parents have the day off work and students have a full day to research a school project, were cut after February’s budget crisis.
Saturday branch hours had to be cut because of layoffs that left the library system short of workers, officials said.
But there was a polite yet driving uprising among the library crowd, and the mayor and Board of Aldermen responded by restoring funds, said New Haven Free Public Library Executive Director Christopher Korenowsky.
