@arcans@mastodon.at Aw, I want librarians to be funded, not militaries :F
@phryk @arcans exactly the same happened in this region of England (Suffolk), the library was until 2012 part of the Council but they transferred the burden of costs to a non profit organisation for exactly the same reasons. They do employ paid staff and are even hiring, but the salaries are way below even those of the usual rates for this bit of England (which are to start with much lower than what would be the case for London!)
