Community Library Network seeks new legal counsel
Board to meet again Thursday
The Community Library Network is seeking a new attorney. A sparse meeting agenda prompted the former chair of the Community Library Network board to question why a special meeting was held Tuesday at the Rathdrum Library. "I thought it was supposed to be a budget discussion, but I don’t really quite know why it did get called," Katie Blank said. "I can’t tell from the agenda much what it is about, and I don’t know if all other board members know exactly why it was called." After much back and forth, Chair Rachelle Ottosen disclosed the missing detail. "We would like to engage a new attorney," she said.
