      <![CDATA[Eatsdirt is correct. Most students arrive at the library after school and stay there until their parent(s) pick them up or until the doors get locked for the day (in which case, they end up on the street).

(For instance.)<br>
<br>
I don't suppose you'd know that without having read this blog before--but in whatever case, "criticizing the libraries for having to make a difficult choice between cutting staff and cutting hours," which is not a thing that I did, and which would be a nonsensical criticism for anyone to make, is not the same as questioning whether there might be a better way to make the necessary service cuts, with less interruption in the lives of average people, which *is* a thing that I did.

      <![CDATA[My guess is that the weekdays aren't stagger because it would affect children who go to libraries after school to do homework/use computers.<br>
<br>
But it is really unfortunate that the Leonard branch was one affected by the Saturday closures. I would pick up books/return them on Saturday mornings and now this gets shifted to Monday nights when the library is open until 8PM.
