Part 2: Holiday Building Closures
All ̽Ƶ (LSC) buildings will be closed for actual or observed holidays covered by union contracts.
Part 3: Service Hours
̽Ƶ (LSC) will maintain regular service hours year-round. Individual service offices that have an LSC website will post their hours on that page. Service offices without a specific website will post their hours in a place that is accessible to their service recipients.
Regular service office hour changes must be approved by the president. Each service office is responsible for updating the posted hours to the approved changes.

History
A revision to Policy 1A.11 and Procedure 1A.11.2 was required after MMB and the Minnesota State Board of Trustees rewrote their weather and short-term emergency closing policies to reflect the ability of many state employees to telework and continue working during weather-related and emergency closing events.
In June of 2025, budgetary needs required the adjustment of building hours. These changes went into effect August 1, 2025.
