Assistant Library Director Janet Jeffries, Director Mim Burbridge and Trustee Gerry Tibbetts met with the Board to discuss Ms. Jeffrie’s letter asking for permission to park her vehicle behind the placePlaceNameLibrary PlaceTypeBuilding on days when she needs to bring her dogs to work. Ms. Jeffries raises show dogs and said that on occasion she needs to be able to tend to them during the hours she is working. She has parked her vehicle behind the Library and done so until the Selectmen made the new policy on employee parking. Jeffries told the Board her Vet is in placeCityFramingham and there are times when she needs to take the dogs in; that it is easier for her to leave from Groveland then to go back to placeIpswich to get them. She also stated there are times such as when the dogs are in
heat that she needs to tend to them. Jeffries told the Board it is not weekly or monthly, and usually occurs in the cold weather, and never in weather warmer then 60 degrees. Jeffries stated because her dogs are show dogs they are accustomed to being crated.
Jeffries told the Board she does her job and caring for her dogs only takes several minutes. Director Mim Burbridge told the Board that Jan’s tending to the dogs on occasion does not affect her work or the way she performs her duties. The Board will discuss the request further and inform Ms. Jeffries in writing of their decision.
In other business, Director Burbridge informed Selectman Gorski that Trustee Prunier had stated at a trustees’ meeting that Gorski asked to see the library mail. Gorski told Mrs. Burbridge that she had asked Mrs. Prunier whether the Library had received her letter volunteering to serve on the 5 year planning committee. Burbridge gave Gorski a copy of the Minutes from the meeting Prunier’s request allegedly made.
