Need efficient way to post "library closing" message

My library director came across a script which allowed us to
automate a
library closed message on our web page. My computer tech
edited the
script extensively for our needs.  If you are interested,
you can see a
clean copy of our script at the following url and go to View
and Source:

http://www.co.douglas.or.us/library/opentime/
opentime_roseburg.html

As far as I know, anyone can use this script.  If you would
like to see
it in context, you can go to the following url and see
Library closures
and the open today message:

Subject: [Web4lib] Need efficient way to post "library
closing" message




In the past, we have added a message to the top of selected
pages on our
web
site to inform our users of the library's closure over the
winter
holidays.
For example, we would add a message to our home page, main
database
page,
our request forms, "Ask a Librarian" email
reference form, etc. There
are
probably about 18 pages that were involved.  We thought that
we should
add
this message to more than just our home page as users may
take various
routes to get to a specific page.

I'm wondering if there are other more efficient ways to
handle this
other
than manually adding the message to each page and deleting
it after we
come
back to school in January.  We recently revised our web site
to be XHTML
compliant and to use style sheets.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.  Our web site is
at
<http://library.webste
r.edu>.
