“We deeply regret that the library is being forced to make cuts in library staff. This is a direct result in the millage decrease we experienced in the November 2022 election,” according to library director Vanessa Adams.
The library director and the library board would like the public to know that the decision to undertake a reduction in force was not made lightly. The library is genuinely apologetic to the affected employees and families and is committed to providing support where they can offer it.
The library is grateful for the hard work and dedication of all its employees, and this decision is not a reflection of their contributions. The library remains focused on its mission to meet the evolving information needs of the community through opportunities to learn and explore.
The Library is located at 315 W. Oak Ave., Jonesboro, AR 72401. For more information about the library visit the website at www.libraryinjonesboro.org, visit the library’s Facebook page, or call 870-935-5133.
