The Oak Park Public Library board voted at a special March 16, 2024 meeting to fire Executive Director Joslyn Bowling Dixon.Trustees of the Oak Park Public Library board voted Saturday to fire the library director because of “a persistent lack of alignment” in priorities with the board, officials announced in a statement.
“Simply put, the supportive and collaborative working relationship between us , which is absolutely essential to advance the strategic vision and plan based on the needs of our community, has been damaged. The resulting confusion, miscommunication and distrust, both internally and externally, has critically impacted our ability to move forward together” and led to the termination, trustees wrote, collectively, in the statement.
A library board member read the trustees’ statement at the end of the special meeting Saturday, following their vote to terminate Dixon. It was not immediately clear what about that Jan. 21 program held at the library stoked controversy. Pioneer Press reached out to the library board president, Matthew Fruth, for more details but was referred back to the prepared statement.
