Golden Library Will Have New Hours in 2012
Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) announced that it will implement new service hours in 2012. These and other changes will enable the Library to bring 2012 expenses in line with revenues and balance the Library’s budget.
“In planning for 2012, we’ve developed a schedule that will allow us to provide a meaningful level of service while meeting significant expense-reduction targets,” said Pam Nissler, acting executive director, JCPL. “Beginning Jan. 2, 2012, we’ll be reopening on Mondays, reducing service hours Monday through Thursday across the system and making other minor adjustments. We know these changes will be painful to patrons and staff alike, and we’re trying to minimize that pain as best we can,” Nissler added.
“We applaud the Library for its creative approach to delivering Library service in the face of budget constraints,” said Faye Griffin, chair of the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners. “These are tough times for everyone, and the Library has worked hard to develop a schedule that restores service on Monday, keeps all of its libraries open and meets the needs of our communities.”
Beginning in 2012, all JCPL libraries, including Arvada, Belmar, Columbine, Conifer, Edgewater, Evergreen, Golden, Lakewood, Standley Lake and Wheat Ridge, will provide service on Mondays. Outreach initiatives, including our Traveling Children’s Library, Bookmobile, eTrain mobile computer training lab and Homebound Services, will operate on Mondays as well. Hours at all library locations will be changing as a result of budget reductions; however, the Online Library will remain open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“In proposing new hours, we analyzed traffic patterns and tried to open libraries at the times they’re most used, and we staggered hours in neighboring communities to provide maximum coverage in our service areas,” Nissler explained. “For example, since our Conifer Library is only open in the afternoons, we tried to extend morning hours at our Evergreen library, to give our mountain patrons options for library service throughout the week. We know this schedule will take some getting used to, and we hope our patrons and communities will be patient with us as we make the adjustment,” Nissler concluded.
Library service will continue unchanged through the end of 2011. The following service schedule will begin Monday, Jan. 2, 2012:
