Back in September, I posted an entry about the annoucement that the four Trenton Public Library branches would be closing.

According to the Trenton Times, by manipulating the main library’s hours and shifting some of the main library’s staff to its branches, the branches will be able to stay open — at least until the end of 2009.

I’m glad to see the neighborhood branches are able to remain open for the time being.  These branches serve as crucial and established portals for learning, access points to information, and venues for community events for both children and adults living in the surrounding Trenton neighborhoods.
