After having to listen to the narrative from the county executive, the members of county council that refused to override the veto to rescind the lease, and Gannon that the lease would not reduce library staff or programming, we can see on page 26 of the agenda packet for the upcoming finance committee meeting on Thursday, August 15th at 4:00pm that there is a “$278,420 Reorganization of Library Staff.” “Reorganization” = cuts. In other words, empty positions will not be filled, and other positions will be re-classified.
If you can’t attend in person, you can attend via Zoom or phone:

“When I was an unhappy little boy, going to the library changed my life. It may even have saved it. Amazing as it sounds, literature can do that for you. Books are your ticket to the whole world. They’re a free ticket to the entire eart.”
