Whereas the circumstances of the Director's resignation are most disturbing to us; and
Whereas a current acrimonious state of affairs within the Board of Trustees and between the Board of
Trustees and the Director has been publicly aired and debated; and
Whereas we, the members of the Staff Association and Staff of the Library feel that it is unlikely
that the current Board of Trustees will be able to attract candidates who are of the highest
caliber to replace the Director;
Therefore, we call upon the entire Board of Trustees to resign, and we ask that the
legal authorities responsible for the Trustees' appointment select a new Board of
Trustees comprised of leaders and library patrons chosen from the business and
neighborhood communities, who have experience, who will work for the betterment of
the whole Library System, and will keep in mind the bests interests of the Library
System, the City, and the County.
[Signed by 260 employees of the Library System]
