What's Happening @ Your Library

JULY 10, 2009
New Library Hours

Clermont County Public Library (CCPL) has reduced their operating hours to the following beginning Monday, August 3, 2009:

·      Monday thru Thursday, 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.

·      Friday & Saturday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

CCPL managers met on Thursday, July 9, 2009, to discuss operating hours and how to accommodate customers while reducing hours.

“Programs such as story time typically start at 10:00 or 11:00 a.m. Now we’re looking at how to shuffle these popular programs around so that customers can still participate,” says Tracey McCullough, Public Affairs Supervisor. “The library has always tried to offer youth programming that is schedule-friendly for parents.  Finding the balance between reduced hours and library services will be a challenge.”

The library will be open late enough to accommodate after-school hours and working professionals. While reduction in staff and operating hours is no doubt challenging and disheartening, it’s imperative that people realize that each of the 10 branches of the library are still open 48 hours a week to provide services.

“The library still has a lot of work to do for its community – job seekers, summer school, communication hub, community center – our services are unparalleled,” says Amy Buskey, New Richmond Branch Manager. “We’re a resourceful group of people. We’ll figure out how to persevere, do our job, and continue reaching out to our community.”
