The Tennessean reports this morning that the Metro Nashville Public Library downtown will be closed on Mondays. Since I stopped buying books a few years ago to cut back on the amount of stuff I accumulate, I have depended upon the library more and more. I can work around the library being closed an extra day a week, but many use its resources to look for jobs:
Keesha Ayodele, who was at the library to use its Internet service Monday, said it will sting. She often searches for job openings on Mondays, then spends the rest of the week pursuing them.”I don’t like it because this is the start of the week, and that’s the best time when you’re looking for a job,” Ayodele said. “It’s going to be really hard.”
The main library also plans to start closing at 6 p.m. rather than 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. All told, it will lose 17 of its 64 weekly hours, or about 26 percent.
