Unfortunately, this is happening to librarians in all kinds of libraries all over the country. Libraries are becoming other entities and librarians are being replaced by library assistants, people with subject degrees and not library degrees, or not at all. My sympathies to all those going through this. I had it happen in academic libraries twice (4 librarian positions eliminated and then when I did find another librarian position, the subject library was eliminated). Luckily, my Jewish library job is volunteer, so unless they decide they want the space for something else, I'll always have that job. I hope those in library school are being prepared for this new world. Emily
