Indianapolis apparently made a terrible choice for their new library CEO and I can't figure out why. #librarylife
@FirstAmendmentGirl
Want to say more? Fill us in? I’m interested!
@Mj_Osa d Did you read the article? I thought it's pretty obvious.
@FirstAmendmentGirl
Skimmed it. Lots of back & forth— guess I didn’t get the gist.
@Mj_Osa Just saw this. Here's the thing: libraries are part of a larger institution (school district, university, museum, city or county, etc.) and the Board that hires the Director often knows nothing about running a library. So in this case it seemed they picked a terrible (but probably charming) candidate who then rejected the job after the choice got bad press like this article.
@FirstAmendmentGirl Oh . . . that makes sense. You would hope that Library boards would have people who are *at least* sympathetic towards libraries and have some experience with them. It's a lot to hope for, I know . . . .
