Hall County Library System Director Adrian Mixson is recommending operating hours at the branches stay the same for now, even as economic conditions show some glimmer of hope. “We did lay off 20 people about five years ago and ...when you open the doors, you got to have somebody there to serve the people,” he told the Hall County Library Board on Tuesday night. Chairman Andy Henderson said the system’s goals include eliminating furlough days for employees, restoring library hours and restoring the staff.
