I have to say that I am appalled to think that at this time of cutbacks at
the library that there is upper management hiring. If it is true that PR
people have been hired at a time when services have been cut, I encourage
the Library Board to respond and justify their actions!
I would also like the board to justify the inequity of the lay-offs. It
does not seem fair to cut a larger percentage of one class workers and not
cut the a similar percentage of another class of workers.
I would ask these questions tonight myself at the board meeting, however I
work in the evening and can't attend. I hope someone can give and update on
the list as to the outcome of the meeting.
