And you know the hours that they’re open seems kind of partly [inaudible] because the kids are in school the majority of time that they’re open. [Yeah. ] So I mean if you’re gonna cut back to four hours at least cut back starting when the kids get school and get in from school they don’t feel like that they have a good place to do their homework. So they were open on Saturday the Saturday hours probably don’t really matter because kids can come and go on Saturdays and tomorrow but the weekdays this is kind of weird that they’re they closing right shortly after kids get out of school.

I like it because you know it is a small town and there’s lots of things hiking poking around for the summer. Fall whatever and obviously gets a lot of snow so we get to do smo– or snow sports like snowmobiling. Four wheel riding and all that in the summertime. And it’s just peaceful to me.

Or if it’s a place so that kids can go in like that they don’t have computers at home at their own personal home they can go look and get off at the library and use the computer there for. Their schoolwork or if they need to research a project. And there’s all I was looking at. I left to go to the library to myself when I’m there. Just that you know those books. Interesting books that I might want to look at while I’m at the house with my friends. Yeah. My own time just to read a book whatever. There’s lots of reference books there. And there are different projects for the kids there, reading times. But in the summertime especially they have like one day a week I think. When I was there during the summer they had like one of days I think it was well they do a reading time and then they do like little crafts. [Yeah. If] what I’m doing what I’m doing while I’m there, I help out with too.

And then what we really enjoy. We spend the last three or four summers there and we enjoyed reading time at the library on Wednesdays. It’s different than the city because in the city you do reading time everybody leaves. Well when you get there and you’re doing their reading time everybody does their story time and then they have craft afterwards and then snacks
