2. Meeting with Deputy Librarian. Pres. Moteff’s quarterly meeting with Dep. Lib. Dizard focused mostly on budget and potential sequestration. The Library is discussing options such as shutdown, furloughs, cutbacks in employee spending, and cutbacks in capitol police activity. They do not expect a full shutdown. The Library is willing to negotiate over furloughs, and doesn’t expect to give special treatment to any service unit of the Library over another.
