Student asks board to hire librarian after inconsistent library access
Summary
A senior described recent months when the high‑school library has been frequently closed without a staff librarian and asked the board to prioritize hiring and maintaining library hours for student access.
Devin, a senior at Piedmont High School, told the board the school's library has been inconsistently open since the librarian left and asked the board to consider hiring a new librarian and ensuring regular hours. "I think students should have the right to go to their library when they need to and use the resources that are available to them," Devin said, describing instances where a broken printer and limited hours impeded schoolwork.
Board members thanked the student for speaking and said they would raise the point with administration; Devin asked the board to consider hiring a full‑time librarian to ensure reliable access.
