According to the patch and those interviewed, Ms. Mary Inman was recently dismissed from her position at the library without cause after a year of possible discrimination and hostility.  The matter needs to be looked into immediately.  Miss Mary is the "face" of the Lemont Library and has touched so many lives both young and old.  She has served the residents of Lemont for 31 years and deserves our support.  Through her hard work and programs, she has helped community members come together to make meaningful and lasting relationships, and played an important role in the lives of many children (generations of children).

This petition is linked to the board members' email addresses.

Let them know that the people of Lemont are upset, and that they need to find out exactly what transpired at the library.   Any wrong doing needs to be righted.  The library is funded by taxes paid by the people of the community, and Miss Mary is definitely highly revered by those people.

If she struggled with completing her job due to health issues as somewhat suggested by the article, then we provide accommodations or modifications to support her so that she can complete the job because she has earned that after 31 years of dedication and service-- we do not dismiss her.
