To the Editor:

On Monday, the CH Booth Library Board of Trustees accepted the resignation of the recently hired director, Shawn Fields.

The Board recognized the controversy surrounding Mr Fields’s short tenure and had been working to find resolutions to the concerns expressed by the public.

The Board continues to support the staff as they undergo another transition in leadership.

Sincerely,

The CH Booth Library Board of Trustees
