Why would the board members cancel a meeting two hours before it was supposed to happen? I find it very suspicious they can’t get four members of the board together when this is a regularly scheduled meeting. Several members of the Community were planning on being there. There is very important work for this board pending that needs to be dealt with immediately. It’s also suspicious this is happening two days after Tina Scott, the Director met with the City Council. She was unable to answer financial questions at the meeting. The Council asked to see the library’s 990 forms, which Tina Scott did not have with her. Why is the meeting not being rescheduled before December? Are they going to accept the Marion offer to save the Art? This offer is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is probably the single largest private donation the library has received in decades, if ever. We would all like to know the answer to these questions. The Marion offer wasn’t even mentioned in the minutes of the Oct. Board meeting. Why was that? Was this decision to cancel today’s meeting made by Libby Post? If you didn’t know, the library has hired a very expensive high powered Public Relations expert from Albany to help them with this art problem. Her name is Libby Post. You can google her. Will the art be shipped out in December? How much are they paying Libby Post? Who is paying her if there is such a large deficit? If the board members can’t find the time to attend the board hey should resign and let others who are able to make the meeting take their place. We would like to know what is happening with the Art.
