The library being filmed here is the new Fairfax City library. It's really pretty. I work at the one in Centreville. This video talks about the cutbacks etc affecting the library that will begin this July.
As of yet, I won't be losing my job because I am a merit employee -- they might be cutting back on my benefits though. For example, they are getting rid of pay for performance, so i won't be getting any bonuses or raises anytime soon. And they are going to cutback on healthcare and retirement and all that. Basically, it isn't anything that is going to hurt me personally too badly because I don't have my health or retirement vested in the FCPL system.
The staff cutbacks are taking place in the pages... they are firing them all and then rehiring less than half of them, and firing for good 6 hour and 12 hour non-merit employees working for the circ and info desks. They are also going to be freezing positions, so when people quit merit positions, new people won't be hired unless the position is decided to be critical to library activity.
