The library in my city (in the Netherlands) is open from 10am until 5 pm on weekdays (one evening a week until 7 pm), on Saturday from 10am until 3 pm and on Sunday from 1 pm until 5 pm. With budget cuts coming, they're going to close completely on Sunday soon.
With opening hours like that, who can go to the library? Pensioners, and every now and then a lost student who needs something from the local history archive. It's ridiculous, it's a huge, fairly beautiful building too, and 75% of the time it's empty.
Oh and coffee (tiny, 4 US fluid ounces! be sure not to pay attention when you drink because it's gone before you know!) costs 2 euros (2.8 USD). Don't spend an afternoon there, it'll set you back a tenner.
