Council agrees to allow mayor to extend conditional offer for interim librarian Jackie Campbell
Summary
Council and the library commission recommended a candidate, Jackie Campbell, to serve as an interim librarian during an extended leave. The council authorized the mayor to make a conditional offer at the current rate of pay pending pre-employment physicals; the move was described as budget-neutral because the leave is unpaid.
Council members and the library commission discussed staffing to cover an extended librarian leave and recommended a candidate identified in the meeting as Jackie Campbell. Council members described Ms. Campbell as a local volunteer who recently moved to Frenchtown and holds a doctoral degree in literature; meeting comments said she has been volunteering at the library since moving to town.
A council member said the library commission and council had identified a candidate and requested the mayor make a conditional offer. "Her name is Jackie Campbell," the speaker said, describing her local volunteer work and qualifications. The council agreed it was budget-neutral because the leave of absence is unpaid, and members directed staff to extend a conditional offer subject to pre-employment physicals and a formal resolution at a subsequent meeting.
Council also discussed coordinating photographs and social-media announcements for the library reopening; staff and members agreed to post updates on the borough and library Facebook pages once the branch reopens.
