We the undersigned have a strong preference for a local Library Director with a proven track record of managing the Library and working with the Langlois Community. The decision of the Langlois Library Board to displace local workforce, to bring in an out of state hire needs to be explained to the taxpayers in a public forum.
Until this clarification a hiring freeze for Library Director should be in place.

view the links to the right obtained starting with a simple name search + librarian.
It is our wish to confirm with the Langlois Library Board that this information was transparent to all decision makers during the selection, vetting, or interview process.
Please be sure to sign the petition (text box below) freezing this hiring until explanations are provided to the taxpayers, patrons and donors who support and love the Langlois LIbrary.
Why go out of state when we have perfectly qualified people right here in Langlois? This makes zero sense.
