Where are the librarians?

With the turmoil of economy situation, layoffs have been the headlines of the US major newspapers. Workers were laid off EVERYWHERE. In the Midwest, the University of Kansas Edwards Campus laid off two full-time library assistants; Johnson County Public Library stopped hiring any new employees (hiring-freeze); the Kansas City Public Library imposed a similar policy. This year, in May the School District on Los Angeles laid off school librarians.

"What next?" "Where are the librarians?" "Who will be the next on the chopping block?"
