Daniel Kool writes: “The Maine State Library has rescinded three layoff notices it issued last month after it regained access to half its federal funding. The library avoided two other layoffs by shifting employees from their federally funded positions to positions unrelated to that funding, State Librarian Lori Fisher wrote in an email May 5. That leaves eight layoffs still in effect, though Fisher said those have been delayed until May 8. ‘The remaining layoffs could be rescinded if federal funding is restored in full,’ Fisher said.”
