[Publib] Holiday Closing

[Paula Alston]

In the Commonwealth of Virginia, our state holiday is Lee-Jackson Day (I
think you can guess) which is the Friday before MLK Day.  State and most
local offices are closed.  My library is open on Lee-Jackson Day but
classified employees are off.  If they work, they take a floating holiday
later.  We are closed on MLK Day.  When did Arizona start recognizing MLK
Day?  Now, if we can just get you on board with daylight saving time—which
is this weekend!

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...
