Jefferson County Public Library Reviews

Exceptionally risk-adverse, top-down, homogeneous management. Most employees are afforded little autonomy and discouraged from asking questions, learning from external perspectives, forming bonds with one another or even collaborating or sharing ideas. Woefully inadequate systems for information and project management that date back to the early 2000's. The organization seems primarily invested in keeping a small group of narrow-minded elders in power, at the cost of providing innovative services or programming, truly helping in-need populations and otherwise fulfilling the role of a modern public library.

At the helm of HMS LIE-BRARY, a public-funded, rudderless, ghost ship, is an incompetent pirate who has patches over both eyes. Captain BlighND makes those who might have a different point of view walk the plank or are thrown overboard in the middle of the night, in hopes that no one will notice. Current ship mates need to gather their life preservers and jump from the deck so they can swim safely ashore or hope a new employer rescue boat saves their life. New recruits need to avoid the temptation to come aboard and do whatever they can to avoid the command of Caption BlighND.
