MAPL Trustees Deciding on New Library Director

The Board of Trustees of  the Matawan Aberdeen Public Library went into executive session last night about 9:30 pm to discuss personnel issues. From what I've been told unofficially, the search process for a new director has netted about half a dozen candidates and the board was hopeful they could make a decision on the next director last night. Selecting a candidate now is all the more urgent because of Jeff Kesper's sudden resignation as interim director last week. Both the Board and the library staff have been working especially hard this past week to keep the library running smoothly and are to be applauded for their efforts. I'll try to highlight some of the pending issues discussed at the Board meeting in a later post.
