[Publib] ? Saturdays before or after a holiday in small, rural, poor counties

[Mary Soucie]

Phalbe,The only holidays we close two days for are: Thanksgiving and the day
after; Christmas Eve/Day and New Year's Eve Day. At my new library, we only
close on Thanksgiving. I echo the post that said consistency is important. I
also agree with the poster that slow days are a nice way to play catch-up.

Good luck!
Mary
