This document describes the policy of the Library Board in closing the library in observance of holidays. 

September 10, 2015

October 27, 2021

a. It is the policy of the Johnson County Library to adhere to the holiday schedule promulgated by the Board of County Commissioners. This regulation is necessary to cover holiday closings on the evenings and weekends not addressed by the BOCC. 

b. The JCL will close on Easter Sunday and on Sundays occurring the day before BOCC-designated holidays that apply to the JCL, with the exception of Martin Luther King Holiday. However, if a contiguous Monday and Tuesday are BOCC-designated holidays, the JCL will keep regular hours on the Sunday immediately before. If Independence Day, Christmas, or New Year's Day fall on Saturday or Sunday, the JCL will be closed on the day of the holiday and the day of any BOCC-designated observance that applies to the JCL. 

c. The JCL will close at 5:00 p.m. on July 3, December 24, and December 31, if the date falls on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. If July 3, December 24, or December 31 are designated holidays by the BOCC, the JCL will keep regular hours on July 2, December 23, and December 30. 

d. Thanksgiving Day and the Friday following are designated official County holidays. The library will close at 5:00 p.m. on the Wednesday preceding Thanksgiving and reopen on Saturday morning. 

e. These are the only deviations from the regular hours of operation as defined in ARM 20-10-10 Hours of Service that may occur regarding holidays, except that the County Librarian may authorize early closings on 


the day before other BOCC-designated holidays that 
apply to the JCL.
