Friends of the Sebastopol Library passed a resolution in support of branch manager Mathew Rose that included a vote of "no confidence" in the library administration regarding this matter
Gosh darn it. If you are in critical need of a reference librarian. Call me. I was one for 12 years at a technical library. The Theory X version of management in the library is not treating the workers like the professionals they are. Workers should be empowered to do the things they think best. Then if it is wrong such as unlocking something or whatever, fix it, counsel the employee, have a reason something is done the way it is etc. Don't treat employees badly.

Thank you for telling this important news. I support the position of the Friends of the Library as described.
Please keep this news updated.
Wonder if this is an issue the Sonoma County Grand Jury should investigate?
