[ILL-L] Cuyahoga County Public Library

[Carol A. Vaeth]

Well, I am really surprised that no one has commented on this post.  I
expected to come in to work this morning with a zillion email responses.

 

Gail, I am distressed by this news.  Are you losing staff members or
will they be reassigned?  Are you still going to borrow for your
patrons?  Are other library services being reduced/eliminated? Is this a
last ditch effort to balance a budget, or are the library services
considered to be expendable and the among first to go in the County
budget reductions?

Hasn't your county heard that library services are even MORE important
in times of recession?

 

My heart goes out to you, your staff, and your citizens.

 

Carol

        Cuyahoga County Public Library has eliminated its Interlibrary
Loan Department as part of its efforts to offset a reduction in revenue
of $14 million through 2010. The Library will no longer accept orders
after September 4 (via Worldcat Resource Sharing or ALA form). The
Interlibrary Loan Department will process orders and follow through on
transactions that are in process.
