"Staffing reductions within the State Library of Pennsylvania are now projected to be in line with a 50 percent budget decrease. This translates to the possible elimination of approximately 28 of the 56 library positions (not the elimination of 50 of the 56 library positions as originally reported by the press based on the budget error)."
