Normally, we are open 10am - 9pm Monday through Thursday, then 10am - 5pm Saturdays. I don't think we'll be able to offer a full 7 hours like we do on Saturday, I want to start smaller with about 4 hours. I'm not sure when to put those hours, though, morning or afternoon?

I'm also interested in hearing from anyone that may have added hours like this recently, and how it has worked out, any changes you needed to make, etc. I'm not sure how to handle staffing, for instance; can I get by with our current staff, or does that spread us too thin the rest of the week?

Staff from each department is asked to pick up roughly 3 Sundays a quarter. We then receive the corresponding amount of hours off that we worked that Sunday on another day of the week. Librarians are allowed to choose to work 9-5 on Sundays rather than just 12-5, so we can have a whole day off if we want. We do offer some comp time rather than this rescheduling method, but I never do that so I can't speak to it lol. Staff is very bare bones, usually 3 librarians or reference assistants to cover our 3 ref desks, a manager, and two circ clerks. Librarians are on desk from 1-5 with a 20 minute break (the manager fills in the desks for these breaks). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Picking 4 hours on a Friday is much more difficult though as many people have work or school!

Hours there were M & W, 3-7; Tues, Thur & Sat, 10-2; closed Friday. 10-2 was definitely busiest 10-2-- while the 3-7 hours seemed busier during the week, as folks stopped in on their way home from work.

Like you we will have to figure out staffing and then decide if we want to stay open until 8 or close earlier. We used to have a lot of people in the library between 6 and 8 but since COVID it is dead after 5pm. I would hate to close earlier though due to the few that do utilize the library after 5 because of their 9-5 work schedules. </span><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; background: white;" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; background: white;">My recommendation would be to open earlier rather than later but I guess you would really need to look at when your traffic is coming in. In regards to staffing we usually have four or five workers on our 12-5 shift and it works out well. We have had days where we have been short staffed and ran it well with only three . </span><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="background: white; margin: 0px;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;">I would be interested in your findings and how you plan on spreading your staff out.

I like those hours because it keeps our hours as simple (M-Th 10a - 8p, F-Sa 12p - 5p) as opposed to having different hours on Friday and Saturday. Years ago, we had summer/winter hours when we were open on Friday in the summer, and open on Saturdays during the "winter" (roughly the school year). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #073763;" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #073763;">We do get people coming to the Library at 10a on Friday and Saturday expecting us to be open (or forgetting which day it is).

For us, I think it's 30 hours, so we have to be sure part time staff stays below that threshold. Outside of that, we did have to bring on extra staff as we expanded our schedule. We're a relatively small staff -- 7 part-time desk workers. That's a good number for us. Our open hours are covered, and there's enough who are willing and able to sub when needed. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Our schedule: <br>Mon-Thu: 10:00am-8:00pm <br>Fri: 10:00am-6:00pm <br>Sat: 10:00am-3:00pm <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" data-mce-style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I hope this helps<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Hey Don,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">We ended up reducing our hours from COVID down to 10-7 <span class="object">Tuesday</span>-<span class="object">Friday</span> (not open <span class="object">Monday</span>), and <span class="object">Saturday</span> stayed the same until 4.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">I looked back about a month on the camera and counted my traffic after 6, and it just wasnt worth it past 7.
