[LIBRARYDIR] How does your library handle breaks?

Tue Aug 2 08:53:14 PDT 2022

At BBCC we have enough staff that are 12 month employees that we stay open during breaks as a service to the community. Plus we haven't found a safe way to return tech without doing face to face. We start checking out textbooks and tech two weeks before the quarter starts too so we need to be open for that too.

We are continuing to offer curbside service, which some users really like, and it is literally out our back door so easy for us too.  Well, except for when it is over 100 degrees.

We do close the building for a week or two each summer for deep cleaning and maintenance but still offer curbside.   We've also started putting a wireless doorbell at our front doors when we are closed but have staff here so folks can return tech etc.

Grays Harbor is traditionally closed most of the break, but we’re unofficially open as much as possible. So if two of us are here the doors are open, even if the signage hours say we are closed. A lot of this is due to not having the staffing to be open while people are taking vacations, and being realistic about trying to set days off a year in advance.

We are doing half days for the week after the quarter ends, and will probably be open full time the week before classes begin except for all campus training event. We are always available for appointments, even if closed.

Green River is the same—closed in between quarters. However, our circulation department schedules laptop checkouts during the break.

Bellevue College Library is closed when classes aren’t in session. Faculty return a couple of days before fall quarter starts, but the library opens when classes start.

Hello everyone-

During your break periods, do you keep your library open, open with shorter hours, or close?

Thanks!
