Modified Pomona Public Library hours continue today

Even though the weather forecast calls for cooler temperatures, the Pomona Public Library will remain on its modified schedule today (Saturday).

That means the library will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. today.

Plans call for returning to the regular schedule Monday, said Mark Gluba, assistant to the city manager.

However, should temperatures spike, the library's schedule could be modified once again on short notice, he said.

Library hours were modified earlier this week after 100-plus degree temperatures and the lack of air conditioning made it difficult for people to use the library even with the help of fans and swamp coolers.

The library's air conditioning system broke down at the end of June, and to repair it a new compressor had to be built for the system.

Gluba said the new compressor has arrived, and the air conditioning could be operational by the middle of next week.

The library's regular service hours are Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from noon to 7 p.m. and Saturdays noon to 5 p.m. The library is closed Thursdays and Sundays.

Any changes in the library's schedule will be posted on its website at http://www.youseemore.com/pomona/.
