In contrast with the swift and (to critics) hardly transparent decision by
the Santa Clarita, CA, City Council to outsource library management to
Library Systems & Services, LLC (LSSI), the city of Stockton, CA, and the
San Joaquin County government are still considering a bid by LSSI to run
the Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library (SSJCPL), or some portion
of it.
The interests of the city and county may diverge significantly, as the
county evaluators of LSSI's bid scored it higher than did city evaluators.
LJ reported July 15 on the brewing controversy. Since then, LSSI has
submitted the bid, along with a host of backup documents.
LSSI pledges to operate the libraries at a significant cost savings of
one-third on the system's $9.1 million budget if current hours are
maintained, or with nearly 50 percent more hours and a $1.87 million
savings. Projected increases for the standalone systems are similar.

Questions raised
"I've looked at the details of the proposal, and I'm scratching my head as
to how LSSI is going to pull this off," Colleen Foster, former director of
the SSJCPL, commented to LJ.
"The company claims that service will improve, and yet it also plans to
reduce salaries and benefits and eliminate two professionally certified
librarians," she said. "It's like LSSI doesn't understand that good
librarians are the heart of a successful library system."
