The San Bernardino Public Library System (California) has a branch on
25581 Barton Road in Loma Linda (California) which is a 7th Day
Adventist town. As you can see from the web page
http://www.sbclib.org/LibraryLocations/LomaLindaBranchLibrary.aspx
...the library hours follow the Adventist religious traditions:
_Branch Hours_
Monday 11-7
Tuesday 11-7
Wednesday 11-7
Thursday 10-6
*Friday Closed *
**
*Saturday Closed*
Sunday 9-5
This is because the Adventists of Loma Linda which make up about 99.98%
of the population take their religion quite seriously. The Loma Linda
Hospital is excellant especially their cafeteria which is 100% vegan.
When we were high schoolers with our newly-won driver's licences we used
to go out to Loma Linda on Sundays to study in the library, shop at the
vegetarian supermarket, and then have a vegeburger in the hospital
cafeteria. We used to drive to other places and do other things as well,
but we never told our parents about that part.
Happy Pésaj!
