Help Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District
The Issue
We’ve stated our concerns at three board meetings and two listening sessions and still neither the Director Rebecca Wolf nor the Library Board of Trustees has taken one action. Thus community members have started a petition to clarify what needs to be done.
Because Director Wolf has not satisfactorily addressed the community's concerns (see The Winnetka Talk or Winnetka Current [online access only for subscribers]), has not achieved an effectiveness rating of 70% in six years' time and is responsible for an alarming turnover rate, which is worse than McDonald's, she will be dismissed and that she be replaced with a qualified Director from outside the district.
The Acting Director and Board of Trustees will immediately see to it that each branch has dedicated staff by November 1, 2019 if not earlier.
When positions open up, previous staff will be invited to apply and be given first consideration.
