(KLZA)-- Additional funding for wages is hopefully going to mean the Falls City Library and Arts Center will be open on Friday’s.
Librarian Hope Schawang addressed the City Council Monday night. She had requested funding for two part-time positions but was only allowed enough in her budget for one additional position.
Currently, in addition to the Director, there are two full-time employees and two people that are sharing a part-time position of 25-30 hours per week. The plan is for the new part-time person to work 25 hours per week.
Schawang said they have considered a number of ways to have the library open more hours, including shortening the Monday – Thursday hours, but did not want to shorten the hours on those days.
The Falls City Library and Arts Center is open Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. and on Saturday mornings from 9 until noon.
The new Friday hours will begin when the new position is filled.
Prior to 2011 the library was open on Friday’s but did not have morning hours. In order to be open during the morning hours, the library has been closed on Friday’s.
