Your Views: Better to keep libraries open later for students

POSTED: August 29, 2012 1:00 a.m.

I agree with Myra Meades’ comments about cutting library hours affecting education. What Adrian Mixon apparently did not take into consideration is the fact that most of the students who use the library computers in the evening, probably can’t afford them at home. A student today can’t just bring home a book and do their homework like their parents did. Mine is a family who uses this service because we can’t afford a home computer.

I think it would be best to cut hours earlier in the day, and save the evening hours. Open every day at noon, close at 7 p.m. Open Saturday at 11 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. That way, there will be at least three two-hour computer sessions per day.

Please do the right thing for the children and families of our community.
