As a long-time and avid library user, I would find it much easier to remember if all the libraries were open the same days and hours. That way people could get used to the fact that all libraries are closed on Monday, but open every Tuesday and Thursday until 8 pm, for instance. By having the entire system closed it would have a more efficient cost cutting effect.

I wonder if I am the only person in the universe that realizes this: even if the dang phone is free, the connectivity and usage charges are astronomical. I think it is time we just use the technology we have (computers at home and work and school, and existing cell phones)instead of spending more money each month for redundancy.
