Something's gotta give

The employees of the Los Angeles Public Library are waiting with baited breath to find out how the City of Los Angeles will go about dealing with its $530 million shortfall.

Many of us are hoping for an early retirement package (latest news here) that will give our long-time employees an incentive to leave the system.

If that option doesn't come through, lay-offs and furloughs are almost certainly unavoidable.

Our newest children's librarians, just hired last fall, are dedicated, talented, and enthusiastic. We can't afford to lose them.
