[Publib] Holiday Closing

[Lise Chlebanowski]

We are not in Illinois, but are closed MLK day, President's Day and Veteran's Day the day after Thanksgiving as well! But we are open on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. If we were really serving the needs of our patron's we would be open on the some of those other holidays and closed on the "eves" when it is as quiet as a funeral home!  That's just my opinion!

We're in Illinois, too.  We are open both MLK Day and Casimir Pulaski Day.

 

The holidays we observe:   New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve.     Benefited employees (20 hrs/wk +) get a floating holiday and two personal days.

Today is Casimir Pulaski Day, which is a holiday in the great state of Illinois. The Chicago Public Library is closed so we'll get phone calls all day from patrons checking to see if we are open, which we are.

Our library is also open on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is a national holiday with the caveat that the United States has no national holidays since states designates holidays by executive order or through their state legislature.

My question is do other libraries in Illinois close for either of these holidays, or if you're from another state, are you closed on your unique state holidays? 

Just asking...
