Two questions I would like answered on the referendum. If indeed having all
these books accessible means less librarian time inolved in finding them,
will we be able to make some staff adjustments, ie. less staff or will we be
able to extend hours? What exactly is the trade-off? I'm still also
concerned that the computer thing shouldn't just about be about adding more
computers but about how computers interact to bring more folks into the
information age or into reading. For example some type of interactive
labratory sponsored by one or more local companies?
