MY TURN: CLN trustees are intentionally eroding libraries
Friends of libraries, homeschooling parents and community leaders, know that the Community Library Network is being systematically eroded. For a year trustees Rachelle Ottosen, Tom Hanley and Tim Plass have undercut vital investments and obscured their actual spending. Their FY25 budget will further cut services, lower staffing, curb library hours and decrease material purchases, while over-spending on legal advice and insurance.
MY TURN: CLN decisions and finances being hidden from the public
The Community Library Network’s trustees are hiding board actions and some critical financial information from the public. Since Chair Rachelle Ottosen, Vice Chair Tom Hanley and trustee Tim Plass directed staff to simplify board minutes, the uninformative phrase “discussion was held” has appeared repeatedly in official records. Following the resignations of library director Alexa Eccles and trustee Katie Blank, the board has held several executive sessions, with decisions announced as “will take the actions discussed.”
LIBRARIES: Blank’s resignation was a true loss
Community Library Network Trustee Katie Blank resigned — a true loss of leadership and institutional knowledge. She’s been a protector of the free exchange of ideas and information and a shining example of citizen participation. Ask why.
