From Windsor, ON: “The Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board is laying off most of its librarians and more than a dozen secretarial staff in the first wave of cuts that could also see about 50 teachers out of a job this fall.”
From Windsor, ON: “A decision that effectively closes all Catholic school libraries was made behind closed doors by four of the school board’s nine trustees, The Star has learned.”
From the article: “City leaders have rejected plans to close down several of the Capital’s libraries, but a review is still to be carried out that could see many having their hours slashed. Council officials had recommended finding £1.5 million of savings from the city’s 26 libraries, including shutting down some, reducing the opening hours of others and cutting the number of janitors that work in them. But the Liberal Democrat/SNP administration today announced that it is pledging not to shut any libraries either this year or next year.” (via FunkyPlaid)
From PW.org: “The residents of Stony Stratford, England, have successfully checked out every single one of the town library’s sixteen thousand books, in an effort to show support for the library and protest its impending closure.”
