Excerpt: In a surprise move, the director of the Lewiston Public Library has turned down an offer to take over the Niagara Falls Public Libraries, sending the Falls Library Board back to Square One in its search for a new executive director.
The Library Board expected to ratify a contract with Ronald W. Shaw at a special meeting Tuesday afternoon, but its members learned instead that Shaw had turned down their job offer. They immediately began a new international search for an executive director at an annual salary of about $70,000.
Interim Director Daniel R. Killian told the board that Shaw had decided to accept an appointment as director of the Chemung County Library District, headquartered in Elmira. Killian said Shaw was the only local candidate among the 12 people who had applied for the Niagara Falls directorship in a recently completed search.
