More time at library: Haley Hofstee, 11, works on writing a thank-you message to the Hillyard Library on balloon-shaped paper, and her sister, Jamey, 13, creates colored bookmarks Tuesday during the Spokane Public Library’s Hillyard Branch open house to celebrate new extended hours. The Hillyard, East Side and Indian Trail libraries are now open noon to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays through Saturdays. The branches were in danger of closing but were spared after a special library levy passed in February 2013. (Dan Pelle)
