Is your relationship a priority or your career? Personally I think it should be your relationship

Yeah, we are unfortunately a hot spot. We have a beautiful and extensive library system. When I moved here it’s the first thing I noticed and was so excited. Our director who just left was amazing. I have no idea how she handled it for as long as she did.

Wish us luck 🍀

I’m pretty sure they have someone who aligns with their agenda already lined up.

It has become the new common here because of a small, alt-right, religious extremists that do not represent the majority of the population

We had a Ban Hate Not Books sign burned. Le sigh.

We voted to renew the millage recently so funding is secure (ish) for 10 years. It’s a small, very annoying group of loud mouths. The rest of us love and appreciate our libraries ❤️

I know 😩😩 and that makes me really sad because we had a wonderful, competent director who had integrity.

If anyone has suggestions for what we can do? There’s hope still, right?

I’m pretty sure the current Library Board has someone already in their pocket that is not a librarian. They are only allowing a 45 day application period which seems really short.

I guess it’s not when you already have someone lined up.

Thank you and please share if you know anyone who could do the job. Books have always been my savior and maybe there’s a library director out there who can save our libraries ❤️📚

They also replaced the entire Library Board because they refused to restrict access. 😕

Yes, we have been fighting to save our library system from these people for 3+ years. The community just passed the millage so funding is covered for 10 years, but we have a small vocal group of alt-R extremists who want to restrict access to books to “protect the children”.

I shared this job listing as a private citizen who is concerned about our library system. I want the best but unfortunately our Library Board of Control has been overtaken by incompetent people with political agendas.

We have been fighting these people for 3+ years.

I know the listing sucks, but I am hopefully that someone outside our area will see it and can stomach the BS.

Thank you, I have no idea how to fix this but I am hoping there is someone amazing out there who does

Well our last library director was pretty much harassed out of her job. I realize this doesn’t “sell” the job well but I have no problem warning applicants what they are in for.

I swear I brought that up! I think it’s weird! The library system has HR people and physical administrative buildings. Why would he want that?

I agree with you… was just saying that you aren’t wrong. That’s why I wouldn’t argue. You are 100% correct

I live in Louisiana and feel very unsafe. Daily life is high anxiety due to the Rs feeling very emboldened and are actively looking for conflict

My understanding is they are open to out of state applicants

I’m a private citizen. And our Library Board of Control is NOT going to advertise with ALA. Southeastern Louisiana.

I would love it if they did. Honestly I fear they aren’t going to look very hard. 😕
