A spate of recent resignations among branch managers and support staff within the Garfield County Public Library District has fingers pointed in lots of directions, including at the executive director.
Functionally, it also has the district scrambling to fill several key positions as it works to rebound from pandemic restrictions and make good on promises contained in the voter-approved 2018 mill levy increase.
Some staffers who resigned in recent months said they were prompted to go on record with concerns about internal library relations, namely with Executive Director Brett Lear, that they fear will ultimately impact library services.
