I agree that you should do it server side. One approach to doing this
via Google Calendar was written up in the Code4Lib Journal.

Using Google Calendar to Manage Library Website Hours
By Andrew Darby
http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/46

The management and display of hours of operation on a library website
can be needlessly complicated. One relatively simple solution is to
manage the library hours in Google Calendar, and then use the Google
API to extract this data for use on the public website. This article
outlines how the Ithaca College Library used Google Calendar, PHP and
MySQL to manage and report against our library's operational hours.
Example code is included.
