The county reversed their decision and funding oversight is finally underway. I am completely worn out from this fight but the relief of knowing our libraries are secure makes it worth the struggle.
We the undersigned citizens support Lunenburg County Libraries and express our disapproval of the dismissal of 31 year veteran librarian Roberta Rickers at the Ripberger Public Library. Additionally, we do not support the hiring of a new manager to oversee both the Ripberger and Victoria libraries part-time, leaving neither facility with a full-time librarian. Furthermore, we request that Lunenburg County review the expenditures of Southside Regional Library and make sure the monies spent aren't unfairly attributed to the Lunenburg portion of the annual budget.
The emails I receive from you about the state of our libraries are heavy to read but they remind me exactly why this fight is necessary. I am spending my time digging through budget documents while we wait for an actual response from the county board. It is exhausting work but I am staying the course.

Roberta is a legend in this town. You dont just fire someone who has given 31 years of their life to the community. Bring her back immediately.

Total incompetence by the board. 31 years of service tossed aside like trash.

WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING? Need a full audit of where our taxes go before they go slashing staff at the library.

Our library system is falling apart because of these budget cuts. We need full time staff not some part time manager who doesnt know the area.
