IT Department or Rec Department?

I’ve noticed lately that libraries are beginning to be co-opted into different local government departments. In Roseville, CA, the library is under the Recreation Department and something similar has been done in Palos Verdes. Most recently I’ve noticed the Library Director job is being defined as "Community Services Director" in San Bruno, where there will only be an Assistant Library Director. These are just a few of the examples of libraries I can give from California; I’m sure there are many more.
