Unfortunately for a public library more footfall doesn't equal more revenue. In fact it can increase running costs, which results in opening hours like my local library:
Mon: 13:00 - 20:00
Tue: 10:00 - 17:00
Wed: 10:00 - 17:00
Thu: 10:00 - 17:00
Fri: 10:00 - 16:00
Sat: 10:00 - 16:00
Sun: Closed
And that's regardless of the lack of amenities: my library has one table and no toilets.
- jogjayr 10y ago> Unfortunately for a public library more footfall doesn't equal more revenue That seems...backward. It would seem that with more footfall and circulation, the library should be able to justify a larger budget from the city. And unless the city is struggling financially, they should get it. Are there some other issues also?
- sand500 10y agoI agree. Libraries are adapting to the modern times and needs.
- Overtonwindow 10y agoNo toilets?? Where are you? Even inner city DC libraries have toilets.
