NEW HAVEN -With the city slashing budgets across the board in order to address a worsening fiscal situation, the New Haven library system has been hit particularly hard, leading to deep cuts in operating hours over the summer that will continue through the year.
The city's budget for the current fiscal year reduces the public library system's operating budget by ten percent. These cuts will translate into a drastic reduction in operating hours for the fall; the main branch will be closed on both Sundays and Fridays.
Under the new schedule, the main Ives Memorial branch on Elm Street will be open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., closed Friday, and open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Hours at the three branch libraries will be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesday from noon to 8 p.m., closed Friday, and open on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Per the summer schedule, the library will remain open on Fridays but not on Saturdays through September.
