Dear Mr. Hanley, 

On May 16, longtime Community Library Network Trustee Katie Blank resigned. In an interview with the Cd'A Press, she expressed concern that the new board majority was silencing the voices of those who did not share their viewpoint. “As part of the minority, I was being silenced continually.” At the June 27 meeting of the CLN, the board discussed candidates to fill the vacancy. At this meeting, your actions exemplified the board majority's tendency to silence dissent. This open letter addresses these concerns.
