Reply to comment by catsinskirts in The Library's perspective on the audit report by zweischeisse

A key piece of information here is this: AKA was not just some “outside organization” having an event in a meeting room at the library because they needed a place to do it. Rather, AKA launched an exhibit in the Equity Resource Center the week of the event. This was considered a partnership event as a result, and the event was held in the Equity Resource Center.

The library can (and does) close early for its own events, as you noted.

Thank you for clarifying that! The exhibit is important context.

I'm not sure if it being a partnership event means it's the same as closing for their fundraiser though. I can remember other partnership events (mostly HCPSS related) and other exhibits, but I don't recall the library closing early for any of them or intentionally closing early for anything other than the annual fundraiser.

The HCLS Board of Trustees is the governing body of the HCLS. They set and enforce the policies governing the operation of the library. They investigated the situation and found that this was within policy and not without precedent.

Respectfully, why is that not good enough?
