Miami-Dade library hours to be slashed. (Miami Herald, 8/27/2013)
Sounds like an increasingly implemented staffing plan for school libraries.To keep all 49 libraries open — with 169 fewer employees, who would be laid off — the county is considering drastically cutting hours at 16 branches. Those branches would open a mere 16 hours a week, compared to their current 40 hours. Most of the branches had previously been targeted for potential closure.
As a result, some branches would share staffs with nearby branches. Librarians would work in one facility in the morning, close it and then open a nearby facility for the afternoon.
