No one has been furloughed or laid off yet. I don't know what the board might do regarding furloughs or lay-offs should the order be extended again. We haven't made any adjustments to the budget so far, but I have several that will need to be made at the May meeting as our service priorities will be very different when we do reopen. We are a district Library. May I ask why you are furloughed this far into the shut down? Is being closed have a significant impact on your budget?

Hello,
I'm collecting information in advance of a Board of Directors meeting about how Michigan libraries are continuing to pay staff now that the Stay at Home order has been extended, specifically regarding furloughs and layoffs. Most of Farmington Community Library was placed on furlough on Friday, and we're trying to figure out if other libraries are doing something similar.
If you are willing, please respond to the following questions:
1. Have any staff members been furloughed or laid off since the Stay at Home order (3/24/2020)? 2. Should the Stay at Home order be extended, would furloughs or lay-offs be considered? 3. What (if any) adjustments have been made to your budget since 3/24/2020? 4. What type of library are you (city, district, etc.)?
Thank you very much for your time and responses!
