After reviewing foot traffic data along with data from the library survey, I was able to develop a clearer picture of when people visited the library and when people said they wanted to visit the library. According to the survey data, the most requested day was Saturday, so that was a priority in the new schedule. I decided to open on Saturday and close on Monday as there was a pattern of little traffic this day. Finally, survey data reported that many residents wanted a more standardized schedule for the library that was easier to remember. I have tried to provide this in the new schedule: we open at 10am everyday; close at 7pm on the weekdays and 5pm on Saturday. Ideally, we’d be open Wednesdays as well, but our current budget will not allow for that.
