We put opening hours for our five buildings/eight libraries on our home 
page:

 	http://www.library.yorku.ca/

The hours are pulled from a Google calendar and turned into a chunk of 
HTML that's included by the CMS.  I did it in a little Ruby script, which 
is here:

Our Hours page is still just a list of links to pages where each branch 
maintains their own list of hours.  That needs work, and it's been great 
to see some of the examples people have mentioned, particularly U 
Chicago's (http://hours.lib.uchicago.edu/).
