Library Woes

Hey, Y'all,
Well, the governor has cut funds to the library, and the library board has made their decisions...and did a masterful job, I think. No Sunday hours except at the Main Library, Closing early every night, Full time is down from 40 hrs to 36 hrs and part timers from 20 to 18 hrs, Less money spent for new material, no new hires, even if people quit. Nothing there is great, but at least no branch has to close and no employee has lost their job. Better yet, our benefits have stayed the same. I can live with that. I will have to adjust my budget, and tighten my belt, but I am not so bad off. No credit-card debt, no mortgage, and I have some savings. Yep, all-in-all, not so very bad. I just hope that the governor realizes what great libraries Ohio has. So many may just have to close their doors...
