Otis library assistant librarian resigns; trustees discuss staffing, fair preparations and grants
Summary
The board learned that Assistant Librarian Molly resigned to become director at the Tolland, MA library, discussed staffing and scheduling impacts, reviewed plans for an upcoming library fair, and noted ongoing grant searches.
The Otis Public Library Board was told on June 11, 2026, that Molly, the assistant librarian, resigned to accept a director position at the Tolland, Massachusetts library. The statement was made by Stephanie Skinner during the trustees’ discussion of the Director’s report.
Trustees discussed related staffing and scheduling issues arising from Molly’s departure, though the transcript does not record specific staffing assignments, hiring timelines or interim coverage plans. The Director’s report and the Treasurer’s report were both accepted by motion and recorded as approved.
Sue Brofman led a discussion about preparations for the upcoming library fair; the transcript records the discussion but does not list vendors, a budget or final assignments. Separately, trustee Katie Meehan said she continues to pursue available grants for the library; the transcript does not specify which grant programs or dollar amounts.
The board also accepted the Friends of the Library report by motion. The meeting ended with the trustees scheduling their next meeting for July 9, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., and adjourning at 7:23 p.m.
No hiring motions or timelines were recorded in the transcript; any personnel actions beyond acceptance of the Director’s report would require further documentation or future meetings to establish.
