I did not create this politica problem, or the goals <br />3. . <br />that are presently causing problems for the library; but <br />you who did are urging me to volunteer to change my title <br />to assistant so that an opening for director will be <br />available though I will still be do'Ing the director's work. <br />?here are inuendoes that if I don't volunteer for some type <br />of assistantship and help resolve the present controversy <br />over goal N3 of the board o1%directors "one yeaT"plan the <br />County Commissioners will reassess their financial commitment. <br />Fourteen years ago I was asked to be library director <br />and acc-apted with full knowledge that my financial potential <br />would be less than the profession I left but was sure that <br />the personal satisfaction in helping people and providing <br />the service to the community would more than compensate. <br />And I wasn't disappointed. I have loved the library and its <br />patrons. <br />Both the Ad -Hoc Committee in 1980 and Dr. Summers in <br />1981 said that the library is competently directed. <br />Our library is as qualified to receive state aid, state and <br />federal grants, and all other benefits other Florida libraries <br />receive whose directors have Master's Degrees. Since I am <br />grandfathered my lack of a Master's Degree makes no difference <br />ifi any regard. <br />I am confident I have done a good job in directing <br />the operations of the library with a very limited budget. <br />I feel I should remain the director until my probable <br />retirement in 1983 when my husband will retire. <br />I would welcome having the assistant librarian that <br />Dr. Summers recommended - if that is financially possible - <br />but it is my desire and intention to continue as director <br />until I am replaced by board action or voluntarily retire. <br />Respectfully yours, <br />Betty Rodgers <br />Library Director <br />BR/lp <br />OCT 211981 Boar'; PAE� <br />47 <br />
