Meet the Micromanaging Majority of the New City (New York) Library Board

New City library trustees call for meeting.  (The Journal News, 5/4/2013)

Excerpt:  The board is sharply divided on various issues, but at the core is the dispute over who can hire and fire employees.

The board minority believes the board’s function is to form policy and hire the executive director, who has the authority to appoint and remove employees. 

The majority believes the board, not the executive director, should be able to hire and fire employees.







Tom, Anthony, Joseph, Matthew, and Olahannon.  Meet the Handbook for Library Trustees of New York State.


Clearly, you need to listen to Victor, Jeffrey, George, and Edward.

They know what they're taking about.  It's all right there on page 28.


And by the way, are there no women interested in serving on the New City Library board?
