Operating hours change during summer, breaks and holidays. Operating hours are determined based upon use statistics. The library takes hourly headcounts of the number of actual people in the library. In addition, the library’s security gate maintains a gate count. This figure is not completely accurate as it counts all entrances/exits from the library for instances such as: restroom, cell phone, getting snacks, etc.
