Adjusting library opening hours - Library Master Plan
One of the strategic lines of the 2021-2030 Library Master Plan is to facilitate access to library services. To this end, service hours have been adjusted as a measure to promote work-life balance for both users and library staff.
This measure proposes:
- Implementing work shifts that promote greater equity among all staff.
- Adjusting service hours to facilitate the work-life balance of employees.
- Bringing forward the schedule of afternoon activities to encourage participation by a greater diversity of users.
- Ensuring more inclusive and equitable access to library services.
Time impacts:
- Improved quality leisure and equity in educational and leisure activities.
- Promotion of social and cultural participation.
