LETTER TO THE EDITOR
P. O. Box 9

Butte County Library
There is an article in the Enterprise Record Sunday September 5, 2010 regarding Monday
hours for the Chico Branch of the Butte County Library. The hours at the Chico branch
will start on Monday, September 13, 2010. What the article does not state is the money
for the Monday hours is coming from the elimination of the Supervisor Position of the
Library Technical Services. This position was eliminated by the Board of Supervisors at
the August 10'',2010 meeting.
My question is to the Library Director and The Board of Supervisors,who is going to do
the cataloging and the processing of 35,000 to 45,000 items that the two employees of the
Technical Services have done in the past?
At the Supervisors meeting on August 10th, 2010,the Library Director was asked by the
Supervisors"who will do the work in the Technical Services"? The Director answered
"Technical Services." But the Director did not say what Technical Services would do the
work. Does that mean there will be another employee hired or does that mean the work
will be out sourced?
It is good Chico library is getting more hours,but I am concerned about the efficient
cataloging and processing that Technical Services have done in the past.
