Chicago libraries will reopen most on Monday afternoon under a plan Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Saturday after weeks of contentious negotiations with organized labor that heightened tensions with public employees. Starting Feb. 6, the city's 76 branch libraries will again be open six days a week, including four hours on Mondays. The libraries will still be closed most Monday mornigs, however , which is in line with what had been decided as a part of the city budget approved last year.
After the budget-realated layoffs, the city and the American Federation of State , County and Municipal Employees work an extra day each week, providing staffing for Mondays.
