Michael Kusalaba Library temporarily adjusts hours following incident with sword-wielding suspect

YOUNGSTOWN The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County (PLYMC) has temporarily adjusted the Michael Kusalaba Library's hours following a recent incident involving a sword-wielding suspect.

As a follow up to the incident, which occurred Friday July 25, the library will temporarily operate under adjusted hours to ensure enhanced staffing during high-traffic periods.

The library will remain open from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays, but will operate from 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

From there, PLYMC will evaluate the effectiveness of these revised hours and decide later on whether or not they will remain in place.
