I am very happy to be able to post this announcement: The Library of Virginia is pleased to announce that effective Monday, 13 September 2004, the public reading rooms and collections will again be open to the public six days a week (holidays excepted), Monday through Saturday, 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. The Library lost valuable staff members and important programs at the time of the budget cuts and staff lay-offs in October 2002, but it is now possible for the Library to resume some previous activities and once again offer Monday service. Within the last few months the Library has been able to hire additional public service staff, and we are pleased once again to be able to serve our patrons on Mondays.
