Former library employee urges voters to address RFPL issues

BELLOWS FALLS — As a former employee of the Rockingham Free Public Library, I would like to express my concern regarding the current trustees of the library.

I feel the trustees have not shown good management and that they have disregarded the wishes of the majority of the public. I have attended some of the public hearings, and the more I see and learn, the more I feel the public needs to take seriously the upcoming election on March 4.

Voters have a responsibility to be informed and to vote for trustees who have the public in mind, not their own private agendas. It is urgent that Rockingham residents vote for trustees we can trust to manage the library with competence, concern for its patrons, and support for the staff.

Finally, I would like to add how impressed I am with the library staff. They have been working under difficult circumstances, and never once have I seen them fail to greet the public with a positive outlook.
