The JFK Library Foundation says five employees who were dismissed last week because of President Trump's executive order on federal workforce reductions have been rehired at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum in Boston.

The library in Dorchester closed on the afternoon of Feb. 18 as a result of the sudden layoffs. It was able to reopen the next day as senior staff and archivists covered for the fired employees.

"As the Foundation that supports the JFK Library, we are relieved that all five of the JFK Library staff members who were let go last week have been reinstated," the JFK Library Foundation said in a statement. "They are all critical to Library revenue generating operations, which can now resume as normal, and it is wonderful to have our valued colleagues back."
