Hmmm...
That was quick.
No kidding
Anyone have any inside info? I’ve heard the new/former director had a very different style than the former one, in ways that might rub staff the wrong way. But that’s just talk, and in any case, why did she quit?

This is a shock. I just met her when she stopped at the Brattleboro Senior Center. What is the reason?
New policy?
No reason given so far.
Maybe a new inter-library loan policy requires you to return Library Directors after 10 days? : )
