Considering some fairly drastic changes, I'd love to hear from anyone
who has:
1. Seriously weeded nonfiction & reference with an eye to what is
available on the Internet.
2. Given up floor space, shelf space, table space to put in a
computer lab.
3. Other things I haven't thought of to be seen as adjusting the
library for the 21st century.
Looks like we are being given a reprieve. In the last 2 months, our
district TL's were first eliminated, then brought back to 50%, now with
furlough days pending approval, probably restored to full time for at
least next year. Looking for what we can do to be seen as relevant, even
indispensable. I know it's more activities and services than furniture,
but furniture is noticeable & might get their attention.
