Stuff

When I got into the libery biz back in the 70s, it was during a expansion of library services. There were classes in library technology at the local Jr.C., people were being hired, books were being bought. It was exciting.

Over the years we have lost staff hours, and there has not been a budget for library books for several years. All over San Diego, new school libraries were built, but staff was cut. With the new wave of budget cuts, I know at least one high school is cutting its librarian. And one middle school.

We are losing our librarian next year.

What does this mean?

It means, everything other than checking out, checking in, and shelving, is not going to happen.

Well, I gotta go to work now.

Later!
