Libraries using 'buddy branch model' to keep locations open every day

What I don't understand is how reducing service hours saves money - You still have 10-15 full-time staff members at each branch working 40 hours a week. What does the library save money on - Lights and toilet paper? It seems by not being open the extra 9 hours per week branches will lose money generated from fines, printing and copying. You can't count on attrition to do the lay-offs for you.
