Excerpt: The former director of the Community Library District has filed a lawsuit against a library board member, alleging slander and libel, along with a complaint with the state contending she was a victim of discrimination.
Mary Ellen Close filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development March 29, contending that age and sex discrimination were a factor in her demotion and later termination by the Community Library Board. Close, director of the library for 26 years, is 61.
Close also filed suit against Ken Mangold, a member of the library board and a town of Randall supervisor, saying that he harmed her reputation in the community and caused her to lose her job through slanderous false statements.
