Libraries in Crisis
Turner proposes:
1) Closing the libraries for one week in December for the holidays
2) Closing the Felton branch indefinitely and moving their staff to the Live Oak branch
3) Hiring a professional librarian for the Youth Services desk in Scotts Valley
4) Cutting down on staff at Branciforte library
5) Moving a senior staffer from the downtown branch to Live Oak
- Salinas budget cuts had closed libraries in 2004
- Rally Salinas campaign raised enough funds to keep them open for limited hours
