"The petition, which union members delivered at a Board of Library Trustees meeting last week, is a sign of renewed strife inside the system. A decade ago Berkeley's libraries were undergoing a tumultuous era in which two straight system directors each departed after less than a year in their roles."
"The Berkeley Public Library's patrons and staff deserve trustworthy library administrators who will manage public funds transparently and responsibly, treat patrons and workers with respect and fairness, abide by professional standards and local ordinances for privacy and surveillance technology."
The largest union representing Berkeley Public Library workers has called for the firing of Interim Director Henry Bankhead, citing unfitness for the role and low employee morale. A petition signed by 90 union members was presented at a Board of Library Trustees meeting, indicating internal strife. While some current and former workers disagree with the union's claims, the petition reflects ongoing challenges within the library system. The union emphasizes the need for trustworthy leadership that respects public funds, patrons, and staff safety.
