After bringing library books back late, a full-time library assistant at the Easton Public Library in Easton, Conn. has been arrested. The director of the library, Judy Baldino, says the assistant, Nancy Harris, has a history of checking out books on hers and her children's library cards and not returning them despite her children not being eligible to have library cards in the area. Harris has since brought back most of the materials and been granted early retirement.
So when does drama in the workplace extend into legal matters? I cannot and will not speculate on what kind of soap opera bull-hockey that has happened behind the scenes that lead to the cops being called in, but I can bet something akin to a family feud has been brewing for a while to get this to go down.
Arresting library assistants for abusing their power? That's what they do! I get that it is hard to let go of a pain in the butt employee in a public library environment, but getting criminal charges to do so? I think these folks need Dr. Phil to sit them all down for some good old fashion communication.
