>
> Oregon librarian community:
>
> You likely have seen State Librarian MaryKay Dahlgreen's note to all of
> us. If not, then I will be the bearer of her bad news: it is with great
> sorrow and confusion that I tell you that Governor Kate Brown's office is
> dismissing State Librarian MaryKay Dahlgreen.
>
> This decision came as just as much of a shock to OLA as I imagine that it
> comes to you. OLA was not consulted in this decision, nor were several
> other stakeholders served by the State Library. Even the State Library
> Board, the entity that was statutorily-created to advise the Governor's
> Office on State Library matters, was not consulted.
>
> Some background: a few years ago, legislation was adopted that moved the
> State Librarian position from being appointed directly by the State Library
> Board to being appointed by the Governor. At the time, OLA backed this
> measure because we felt that it would put the State Librarian position on
> par with other state executive department heads and provide an additional
> layer of accountability. Obviously, these recent events bring our previous
> support into question.
>
> 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 Her name was withdrawn the day of the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.
>
> 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.
>
> 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 503-378-4582 or on
> this web page:
> http://www.oregon.gov/gov/Pages/share-your-opinion.aspx
>
> If you have any questions, I will try to answer them as best I can. Right
> now, I wish all of the support that we can give to the State Library staff
> and MaryKay.
>
> Sincerely,
> Buzzy Nielsen
