Newhall library lacks a professional library staff - Save Santa Clarita Libraries - 10/07/12

"In August 2010, when the city approved a contract with LSSI, a prevalent citizen concern was that LSSI would cut costs (and maximize profit) by reducing staff. Today, although we employ 14 municipal librarians, not one single librarian works primarily out of Newhall.
City manager Ken Pulskamp responds that the city employs a “team approach” to serving library patrons, ie, the Newhall library patrons are served *just fine* without their own librarians."

Please listen to the linked video of Lori Rivas speaking to the City Council about the de-professionalisation of the service under LSSI.
