Sunday opening delayed; director sets new target of Jan. 4 as staff hiring continues
Summary
The library's planned Sunday openings will not meet the earlier October target. Director Brenda said the new projected start date for Sunday hours is Jan. 4 while staff hire and training continue.
The library will not meet the previously announced Oct. 26 target to open on Sundays, the director said, and staff are working to hire and train additional assistants before launching Sunday service. "We still need to hire 3 assistants and get them trained... Our new, projected opening day for Sundays is January 4," Brenda told the board, adding that hiring and union scheduling considerations informed the change.
Board members discussed hours (initial proposals ranged from a shorter window to Saturday‑equivalent hours) and recommended a narrow pilot window if needed to ensure success. Staff will continue hiring, evaluate scheduling software options, and report back on staffing readiness as the target date approaches.
