SLC Library Staff Buyouts, Drought Emergency, Baby Moose
Gov. Spencer Cox declared Utah is in a drought emergency. Executive producer Emily Means, newsletter editor Terina Ria, and City Cast Salt Lake contributor Andy Larsen talk about what's working and what's not to save water. Plus, the Salt Lake City Public Library offered buyout deals to its staff to preempt layoffs, and we share local shoutouts.
