But for a new service it is getting traction. Last issue had a job ad featured for Farmington CT. The Director there retired after a long tenure, and is well respected in the state. The Town has been supportive of the Library. I wonder what that ad cost, and how it will affect the candidate pool. It pays well (it is Connecticut), but the cost of living in suburban Hartford area is high -- compared to much of the US. Actaully, you need about 1900 votes to win a seat on Council.
