[LIBRARYDIR] [External]Re: How does your library handle breaks?

Thu Aug 4 18:38:39 PDT 2022

In preparing the proposed break hours for Shoreline, I composed the
responses here into a spreadsheet. I hope this helps.
My proposal is open the week after break, and a week prior to the Fall
quarter starting, but closed between with a QR code at the door for drop in
equipment returns.
I did not include the winter break conversations - which Shoreline is also
closed and staff - including administrators, may take leave or earn comp
time. This is similar practice to where I was before that was in a
different state.
