<p class="MsoNormal">This February, MaryKay was scheduled for a reappointment hearing during the short legislative session. Her name was withdrawn the day of the hearing with no comment. OLA Legislative
Committee Chair Abigail Elder and I had been working with OLA's lobbyist, Amanda Dalton, to discover why. We assumed that the hearing was merely being delayed. We were wrong.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Needless to say, this decision is disturbing. OLA has expressed our displeasure to the Governor's office. That letter that is attached to this message. We are working with our lobbyist
Amanda Dalton and other officials gather more information about why this decision was made, immediate succession plans for the State Library, and how the Oregon library community will be involved in future decisions regarding the State Library and Librarian.
I will share any further relevant information as it becomes available.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the meanwhile, please spare some thoughts for MaryKay and the staff of the State Library. While MaryKay does not want for us to fight to get her job back, you are welcome to
contact the Governor's Office to express how you feel about MaryKay's dismissal and how they made the decision. I encourage you to read the attached letter before doing so for background information. The Governor's Office can be reached at
<a href="tel:(503)%20378-4582" target="_blank">503-378-4582</a> or on this web page:<u></u><u></u></p>
