Interesting Library Clippings

2 interesting local library clippings today:

Librarian Still Lacking in SBC
Apparently Hollister is having trouble recruiting for the job of their head librarian, prompting the following comments: "Librarians, in fact, are a scarce commodity in California, according to Solano County Director of Library Services Ann Cousineau. There is a dearth of librarians in the state because fewer people are choosing being a librarian as a profession, she said." For those of us fresh out of library school and interested in entry level librarian jobs, which are in very short supply here in California, especially near the largest library school in the country, it seems so crazy to hear about the shortage of librarians in California.

and then a scathing op ed piece in the Gilroy Dispatch against the upcoming library referendum urging people to oppose the library funding because people can surf porn sites. Sheesh.
