When I said I would do a post about Ontario and libraries, I never imagined reading something like this in the news. Here's the summary of the cuts:
*16 branches closed on Sundays starting in September, including the downtown reference library (savings, $400,000)
*Put a freeze on hiring.
*Delayed reopening the Jane-Dundas branch, currently under renovation, to save $200,000. There will be no bookmobile service while it's closed.
*Cancelled the purchase of 14,000 items, including books and periodicals, to save $330,000.
*Cut its Storyteller in Residence program, and a program that forgives some teens overdue fines, to save $23,000.
*Reduced training and travel and some IT spending to save $272,000.
*Trimmed its printing and advertising budget by $10,000.
The freeze on hiring is especially problematic for those in the program that just interviewed for TPL yesterday. Although all of these ostensible 'savings' look good on paper, what about the cost to the community? *sigh* It's a sad day for Toronto...
