This Week (and a half) at Watha T. March 4-March 16

Good Afternoon Neighbors!

We've got lots of news and lots of events going on here at Watha T. My apologies for not keeping everyone up to date on the blog, but unfortunately my appendix was not happy with me and it took me out of commission for a week. But that's all over now, and I'm back in action. So, here's the scoop on what's happening at your neighborhood library.

New Hours

Starting this week on March 2nd the DC Public Library implemented a new set of public hours in order to accommodate estimated budget shortfalls. Here's the new schedule for Watha T.

Monday: 1:00-9:00 *New
Tuesday: 9:30-5:30
Wednesday: 1:00-9:00 * New
Thursday: 9:30-5:30
Friday: 9:30-5:30
Saturday: 9:30-5:30
Sunday: 1:00-5:00

Impact of New Hours

What this means is that we had to switch around a bunch of our morning programming. This mostly has impact on children's programs, specifically Mother Goose on the Loose and Rock Along. So, Mother Goose has moved back to Thursdays (where it began) and Rock Along has moved to Fridays.
