[Michlib-l] Staff Furloughs and Layoffs during Mandatory Closure

[Nannette Miller]

No one has been furloughed or laid off yet. I don't know what the board
might do regarding furloughs or lay-offs should the order be extended
again. We haven't made any adjustments to the budget so far, but I have
several that will need to be made at the May meeting as our service
priorities will be very different when we do reopen. We are a district
Library.

May I ask why you are furloughed this far into the shut down? Is being
closed have a significant impact on your budget?
