This from a Roll Call article this morning....layoffs and severe service cuts on their way...a sad day for the Nations Library... Library of Congress Gets Hit Hardest With Cuts Legislative Branch Spending Slashed Over 2010 - By *Daniel Newhauser* <http://www.rollcall.com/reporters/18.html> - Roll Call Staff - April 13, 2011, Midnight The fiscal 2011 spending agreement includes more than $103 million in cuts to Congress’ own budget, which may eventually necessitate some layoffs around Capitol Hill but not the drastic actions that would have been required by other House proposals. ….. But the Library, which would be forced to absorb a $13.4 million cut from 2010 levels, would be hit the hardest and will be forced to reduce staff. “The level of funding provided in the [continuing resolution] proposal would require a hiring freeze with no new hires, and core services and products will be delayed as staff levels are reduced,” the Senate summary states. A Library spokeswoman said the agency will soon determine where the cuts will be absorbed.
