Reduced library hours start today
Starting today, January 4, Greene County public libraries will operate under reduced hours after reductions in state funding.
Branches in Cedarville and Jamestown will be open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday noon to 8 p.m., Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Libraries in Beavercreek, Bellbrook, Fairborn, Xenia and Yellow Springs will be open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday noon to 8 p.m., Wednesday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Beavercreek, Fairborn, Xenia and Yellow Springs libraries also will be open Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
During the fall campaign for levy renewal Karl Colon, library director, said the reduction in hours was necessary to cut expenses without impacting services. Voters overwhelmingly supported the levy that will raise $3.2 million, or roughly half the agency’s funding.
The new library hours are in place until at least 2013 unless future cuts in state funding force changes, according to a new release from Colon.

The libraries deserve funding because it is the place where people can go to look for jobs, even use computers to do that. There are other places to cut funding, but the libraries should not be cut. We should cut programs that are directed to small numbers of people and not available to everyone, like special interest groups. Dayton Urban League only helped certain people, not open to all people. I think places like that should be cut before the libraries are cut imo.

Maybe some sexy young pretty library honeys could start making or hustling up some library money, by showing and sharing some soft supple skin with us friendly men. Or they can whore and let us buy our books at flea markets and thrift stores. If we can’t breed ‘em, we might as well read ‘em, and go to sleep cheap.

What I don’t yet get; is they librarians has volunteers do the works for free but they gets lots of monies and good benefits; but they rarely hire the volunteers. Usually at least $53,000 millions a year.
