In Worcestershire we made the decision some years ago to re-open on the Tuesdays following Spring and Summer Bank Holidays and on the day after Boxing Day. This was partly to put libraries in line with other services in the County Council but mostly because we reacted to public demand. We also open on the Saturday following Good Friday. Generally, we only close our libraries on Public Holidays (although we are making an exception this year by closing on Saturday 27th December). Staff are of course compensated by extra days leave. Although we didn't target these days to maximise issues they are normally quite busy and it helps spread demand following a closure.
