The reduction in the Schaberg Library branch hours will make it extremely difficult for working parents to bring their children to this wonderful gem of a library. Additionally, the quiet morning weekday hours will be lost to parents with babies and small children and also older adults who wish to use the computers and reading areas. The late afternoons are appropriate for the grade-school age children to use the library.
Currently, the business hours are: Monday-Thursday, 10:00 am-7:00 pm, Saturday 10:00 am-5:00 pm, closed on Friday and Sunday. The new hours, effective Monday, October 11th are : Monday-Thursday, 1:00 pm- 6:00 pm, closed Friday-Sunday.
We urge the City Council to reconsider the decision to change the hours due to budget cuts. The Schaberg branch serves a large constituency that chooses to patronize this branch because of its proximity to local schools, homes and workplaces. The smaller size of the library provides a unique ambiance, safety for smaller children and better interaction with library staff. Please reconsider the change of business hours of the Schaberg Library!

I go there every Saturday morning with my grandson. This change is heartless.
This is ridiculous. People use those computers to apply for jobs and check emails. Dont do this to our neighborhood.
The quiet mornings are the only time I can get work done while my baby naps. Taking that away is a huge mistake.
My kids walk here after school every day. Closing at 6 is way too early for us. Please keep it open.
Schaberg is the heart of this neighborhood. Dont cut our access.
