Now that the May term is reaching an end, we are going to discontinue our Sunday open hours. There may be special cases this summer when we need to open -- for example, when ECP students are in town -- but for the most part we don't believe there will be sufficient need for these hours.
Frankly, we have been disappointed in the usage numbers since we reinstated Sunday hours. Lots of people tell us they want the Library open on Sundays, but then they don't use it. It's not good stewardship for us to pay two workers to staff an empty building.
So far as I know, no decision has yet been made on whether to try Sunday hours again in the Fall term.
