Library Operations Outsourced in TX

Mary Musgrave passed along This Dallasnews.com Story on the decision that will hand over operations of its new Lancaster Veterans Memorial Library to a company based near Washington, D.C. [LSSI].


They say the facility still belongs to the city and the council still makes all policy decisions and library employees would keep their jobs.

\”They wanted to make the hours the library was opened more in line with what the community wanted – maybe Sunday afternoons,\” Mrs. Filgo said. \”We haven\’t had a library director since February, and I feel like we\’re to a point where we need some professional help. We\’ve had good professionals, but [LSSI] brings expertise from a national standpoint.\”
