“Seattle Libraries Begin First of Two One-Week Shutdowns”
From the article, “Closing the libraries for two weeks — the second shutdown is scheduled for the week of Dec. 17 — will preserve the jobs of about 30 library employees. The closures will save about $850,000 because the system’s 640 workers will not be paid for those two weeks. “I am disgusted. The libraries are the only thing in the budget you shouldn’t touch. Cut the mayor’s salary a little. Keep the libraries open for us,” said Samad Chakour, who said he uses the main downtown library almost every day.”
