Rabun County Library forced to close on Fridays

The library board made the decision in a meeting Tuesday night to deal with budget issues by cutting their hours of operation. Library Manager Stephanie Howard issued this statement…

“Unfortunately the commissioners did not grant us enough money this year to maintain full hours of service, the Library Board in essence last night voted to maintain our current quality of programming, services, and and collection of materials and make cuts to the staff payroll which directly affects our ability to operate at the level of hours we had been previously open. As of right now we do have to proceed with closing all day on Fridays, and that decision was based on it being our least busy day of the week.”

The Library will remain open Monday-Thursday from 9 to 6 and also on Saturdays from 10 to 3

The issue of E-books has been tabled but will be revisited in the future.
