“Beginning Monday, the Kelso Public Library will be closed on Saturdays and will shorten its Wednesday operating hours, the city announced Tuesday. The library’s reduced hours are one of several cost-saving measures the city is taking to balance its 2009-10 budget amid the economic downturn.” (Daily News [Longview], 12-31-08) http://www.tdn.com/articles/2008/12/31/area_news/doc495b1c9c0707d608968950.txt
