The Kansas City library media specialists mounted a vigorous campaign to
save their jobs and were successful last night. All 24 positions were
saved. They involved a lot of people in their successful campaign and are
to be commended for the professional and vociferous defense of this attack
on the profession. We all know that this is a year-by-year thing as long as
the financial crisis in Missouri continues, but we ought to celebrate our
victories as we can.
