The Albany Park Public Library laid off 3 employees in July, and the workers are fearful that another round of lay-offs is coming soon. "It really depends on what the union decides" says an anonymous source. He was too nervous to elaborate.
Besides the layoffs, the APPL's hours will be reduced, effective January 2nd, 2010. The new hours will be as follows:
Monday, Wednesday: 10am- 6pm
Tuesday, Thursday: 12pm- 8pm
Friday, Saturday: 9am- 5pm (remaining same)
Another employee explained that the hours open are staggered with neighboring libraries, ensuring that at least one library will be open until 8pm. The cutback in library hours is citywide. The Sun-Times has the story here.
