It's not free or open source and it won't update your Google Places account but we've just started using LibCal and are pretty happy with it so far. It's easy to update, has the capability for hours, events, and room scheduling, and a decent API.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Hours of Operation on Website - management tool
Hi folks,
I'm hoping to find some sort of web-based app that can manage the library's hours of operations, including:
* Displaying today's hours
* Displaying an upcoming schedule of hours
* Updatable though a GUI interface by non-techy library staff
* Able to update our Google Places account hours (which, I note, currently lists our school-year hours as our open hours today), perhaps on a daily basis
* Preferably a stand-alone thing that can provide data on an ad hoc basis (as opposed to a CMS-specific thing like a WP plugin or a Drupal module)
* PHP preferred but not necessary
* OSS / free preferred but not necessary
I feel certain that someone else has already wanted this enough to create it. Anyone have a solution they're happy with?
Thanks
Ken
