Hours

I got a phone call at the library this week. It was a computer, wanting to know the hours. I asked to whom was I speaking only to get the same American voice, “Hi, I’m calling about the library hours over there in Richardson Street.” Over there? It was Google Maps. This time I recited them, clearly, twice, otherwise the [hours] stay on Google’s default setting of midnight. Once someone rang at 4.50 Friday to ask if she could study in the library. Google Maps said we were open to midnight. What Melbourne library is open at midnight, on Fridays?
