Manitowoc library reorganization plan draws fire. (Herald-Times-Reporter, 1/21/2011)
Excerpt: Reorganization and staffing are not on the agenda for the 5:30 p.m. Monday meeting of the Manitowoc Public Library Board of Trustees.
But those topics may be presented during the public input session, and the board is scheduled to go into closed session to discuss grievances recently filed by library union workers.
"The morale among library employees is at an all-time low because of this reorganization plan and making it appear that years of experience has little bearing on the ability for staff to do their job compared to having a college degree," said Amy Eisenschink, a 20-year employee and technical services associate.
Library Director Cherilyn Stewart and David Gratz, trustees president, said last month the goal was to bring in new hires with appropriate academic backgrounds and skills to better serve patrons' needs.
