Re: City Budget Process – Vancouver Public Library cuts – Spring 2010 issue

We just want to say, thank you!, to Dunbar residents who have taken the time to speak to City Council and advocate for library services during the city budget process.

We continue to be open Tuesday thru Saturday, but have lost 6 hours of service. The new hours are Tues, and Thurs-Sat, 10am-6pm, Wed 12-8pm. West Point Grey branch will be open Tues evening to 8pm. Kerrisdale branch will be open Thurs evening to 8pm. Thank you to the 400 library visitors who filled out our hours survey. The survey allowed us to reflect community interests as best we could, knowing that any reduced schedule will be problematic for some borrowers.

Dunbar branch staff are proud to serve the neighbourhood and grateful for your support
