Library branches’ hours extended

News First came the money, then the hours. The Spokane Public Library board of trustees voted Tuesday to open three outlying branches eight hours a day, five days a week. The decision follows the February special election, when voters passed a four-year property tax levy enabling the Eastside, Hillyard and Indian Trail locations to increase operations to 40 hours a week. The three branches have toiled under reduced hours since 2005, when city budget cuts forced the board to cut operations at their three least popular locations. Since then, the branches have been open for 22 1/2 hours a week.
