Report Title: Resolution to change the Crockett Library hours
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT a Resolution to modify the schedule of Contra Costa County Library branch operating hours to effect a change beginning October 1, 2025 at the Crockett Library.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The Crockett Library is currently open Monday 2:00-8:00, Wednesday and Friday 11:00-5:00, Saturday 10:00-4:00 and closed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Changing the Saturday open hours to 11:00-5:00 will align with the work schedule of a new staffing model and create a more consistent open hours schedule for the public. Additionally, the Crockett Library is currently the only library in the county that is not open until at least 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The hours of the Crockett Library will remain unchanged and will be misaligned with staff work shifts and less convenient for the public.
