OPENING hours at Guisborough Museum may have to be reduced because of a shortage of volunteers, but the management committee has said the attraction will not close.
However, Councillor Anne Franklin said: "Because there is a shortage of volunteers at the moment, we will probably have to cut opening hours in the afternoon."
For the next month the 3pm to 4pm slot will be monitored to see how many visitors are in the museum.
The museum is open from 10am to 4pm, Thursday and Saturday, and stewards work two-hour shifts.
Coun Franklin said: "We won't close. We will cover the opening times ourselves. Existing stewards will do longer hours. But if anyone is willing to give up an hour once a month it would be good to hear from them."
Anyone who can help is asked to phone Coun Franklin on (01287) 634236 or call in at the museum.
