The Windsor Public Library Board approved a new schedule for all branches, increasing total weekly hours but standardizing hours across all branches. This change has sparked debate about accessibility and the impact on downtown users.

CUPE Local 2067 argues that the new hours reduce weekday access, particularly affecting downtown users who rely on longer hours for various services.

The conversation discusses if standardized hours meet the needs of individual neighborhoods and the broader community, and touches on concerns about the lack of public consultation.

The conversation then discusses public art in the community and mentions an event focused on community engagement through public art, featuring local policymakers and advocates discussing the value and impact of public art.
