Jericho Library Director Catherine Bass to leave July 31; begins transition work
Summary
Library Director Catherine Bass told the board she will leave the Jericho Town Library on July 31 and has started handover preparations; she will check bank procedures to remove her name from the library checking account.
Catherine Bass, the Jericho Town Library director, told the Board of Trustees on June 9 that her last official day will be July 31 and that she has begun preparing for a smooth transition.
Bass reported the personnel change during the director’s report, saying she will check with the bank about removing her name from the library checking account as part of closing out administrative responsibilities. The board recorded the announcement in its minutes; no hiring timeline or successor information was provided.
The board met next on July 14, before Bass’s departure, which could allow trustees and staff additional time to discuss succession planning. The minutes note Bass has begun transfer tasks to make the transition as seamless as possible.
