I'm not feeling terribly optimistic, to be honest. I suspect we will get stuck with our current assistant director who, the very first day she started, told me and our head of reference that we have too many reference librarians. It's been her goal, and the director's, to decimate our department and they are doing a fine job. We are facing the potential situation of not having anyone to cover the desk during certain hours. That has never happened before and it's horrifying to think that the public will go without reference assistance. But you can't get blood from a stone. We are maxed out, stressed out and morale is in the toilet.
