<br>
Lapeer District Library locations could be closed Dec 23 - 26 and Dec 30-Jan 2 as staff policy dictates that there are two holiday days: the Eve and the Day. Dec 23 covers the Saturday 24th, and the 26th covers the Sunday 25th. Ditto for that following weekend. HOWEVER--I am going to ask our part-timers and subs if they'd like to keep the library open on the 23rd and the 30th. Only three locations are open on Friday, and as it's a 9-5 day, only one shift would be needed for each branch. Our administrative office would be closed for the full four days.<br>

<br>
Good Morning Everyone!<br>
Could fellow librarians tell me how they are planning their holiday closings<br>
for this Christmas and New Year's? Christmas and New Year's fall on a Sunday<br>
this season. Do you observe Monday as the holiday(s)? Also how long are you<br>
closed for this holiday break?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Jane Himmel<br>
