Sacramento's Director Retires

摘要

While the Sacramento Public Library (SPL), CA, in August rejected a grand jury report bashing the library and suggesting the dismissal of Director Anne Marie Gold (see News, LJ 9/1/08, p. 15ff.), the director announced her retirement as of December 1, without reference to the turmoil.rn"I'm proud of the team at the library and what everyone has accomplished," Gold said of her seven-year tenure, according to a library press release. At a library board meeting, according to the Sacramento Bee, Gold declared, "I've long planned to retire when I reached 60, and that's around the corner for me." While she acknowledged problems during her term, neither she nor board members mentioned the grand jury report.
