Kokua Line: Why do libraries close 3 days for 1 holiday?

Question: I went to the Manoa library Saturday, and it was closed for Presidents Day. It was also closed Monday for the actual holiday. The Kaimuki library was closed Sunday, and closed Monday for the actual holiday. I’m curious as to why the public libraries seem to get two to three days off for one holiday. When I was in the workforce, we would get the actual holiday off but not extra days tacked on. It seems that whenever there’s a holiday, the library staff get a long weekend, likely paid by our taxes. Do you know why the public libraries’ staff get so much time off over holidays?
