Reduced library hours start today

Starting today, January 4, Greene County public libraries will operate under reduced hours after reductions in state funding.

Branches in Cedarville and Jamestown will be open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday noon to 8 p.m., Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Libraries in Beavercreek, Bellbrook, Fairborn, Xenia and Yellow Springs will be open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday noon to 8 p.m., Wednesday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Beavercreek, Fairborn, Xenia and Yellow Springs libraries also will be open Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

During the fall campaign for levy renewal Karl Colon, library director, said the reduction in hours was necessary to cut expenses without impacting services. Voters overwhelmingly supported the levy that will raise $3.2 million, or roughly half the agency’s funding.

The new library hours are in place until at least 2013 unless future cuts in state funding force changes, according to a new release from Colon.
