mr. herrera, i really appreciate the focus on equity and consistency within the new number of hours that are being allocated. and i know the library commission made those allocations for those reasons, to have a baseline, but also for equity purposes especially in bran etches that really need it. ~ branches i did want to ask since some of the library user groups [speaker not understood] and others raised a concern about the need for more locations open later. and i know that your driving concerns by the commission was equity and consistency. but if you could just address the later night hours and how you came about to this cured baseline. >> sure, i appreciate the question. we are looking at striking a balance between what the data informed us, which was we wanted more early hours in addition to some evening hours. so, we're actually pleased to report that 17 of the neighborhood branches will have extended hours beyond 8 o'clock so those 17 will be open until 9 o'clock. so, we do have evening hours in many of our neighborhood branches. the other thing i forgot to mention which is really
