Bums and Perverts Cheer!!! BCPL will be open on Sundays year round

The Braddock Times- January 24, 2008

At a meeting Wednesday, Braddock County Public Library 's director, Kelly Millis, asked the library board for its approval to open the libraryon Sundays during the summer.Millis said, "As a Christian I hate that the staff would have the spare time to go to church, when there are so many people we can already help. Where will that guy who is urintating in the lobby go to look at online porn on Sundays if we are not open."

The library is closed on Sundays from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, when children are out of school. In addition the Library is closed on most holidays, along with other city offices. The library began closing on summer Sundays in 1985, Millis said, as a cost-cutting measure. Though in reality, this was incorrect. The library started closing on Sundays when all the research services staff (except Millis) quit their jobs because of low pay and long hours. "They had to close," said Jacquelin Thehut head of the Texas Collection, they had no choice...otherwise Kelly Millis would have been forced to work weekends, and we all know he would never do that."

"I know we would have plenty of people in the library year-round,'' Millis said. "I don't think they will mind cutting their vacations a day short to help our most needy and perverted patrons." The board unamiously approved Ellis's proposal. Millis also proposed allowing the Library to open on holidays and let part time staff run it as they are not paid for holidays when the Library is closed. The board denied this request on a 4-3 vote.

As for the staff, well they are very optimistic. Karma McCarthy, a part-time employee of Research Services was quoted as saying, "Church is for losers. I would rather come to work so I am not forced to reflect on my past as a stripper." Thehut is all for working Sundays, but she said "I am usually sick that day." Marilyn Krapowski, the interim head of Research Services was quoted as saying, "Great, I can't wait to work more for the same pay." Off the record she said, "Boy the staff members here at BCPL are screwed again. We are such fools!"
