Cuts are coming one way or another due to budget sort falls, but one of the three austerity scenarios would hit the libraries extra hard. Based on what I've heard a $2 million budget cut would certainly lead to fewer librarians, and quite possibly a branch closure as well. The last rounds of cuts are already adding up to somewhere in the $2 million region.

Might be good to pay some extra visits to the library and/or use some of the e-book services in the next few months. Help get the census numbers up a bit.
