........ The Library Board will meet next week and discuss a plan to eliminate a $110,000 funding gap that could likely include layoffs of some of the library's about 20 full-time equivalent employees.
....... Richard Salmons, the library's director, said it's possible that not all of the openings will be filled.
......... Despite the shortfall, Library Systems and Services, the private company that manages the Jackson facilities, wants to hire a professional librarian into one of the open positions, said Steve Coffman, a company vice president for public library operations. McIntyre and Rucker said they do not have graduate degrees in library sciences.
