Excerpt:   Last week’s 31-1 no-confidence vote in the Rockford Public Library’s director by its union didn’t go unchallenged at Monday’s Library Board meeting. 

After several staff members and supporters spoke about their concerns over Executive Director Frank Novak and the future of the library, the board’s president and past president addressed the crowd of about 80 people, saying they stand by Novak and think he’s doing a good job.
