Summer hours for the Woodstock (Ill.) Public Library will be shorter than usual. Earlier this week I noticed this new sign, and I went today for this photo.
The City is slicing $125,000 out of the Library's budget. But here is how it is doing it. Rather than just yank it out of the top line, the
City of Woodstock is going to charge the Library $125,000 for "services" it provides to the library. Whatever those are...
So, if you are planning to use the library on Sundays, plan again. How did the library pick Sunday to close? There are weekday reading programs for the kiddies that will continue. And high
school students won't be hurrying to the library to finish their papers due on Monday (during the summer).
From the computer screens of many of the students in the library, they aren't using the library computers for their term papers, anyway (unless their research can be done on Facebook).
