Library Suspends Staffer Over Squirrel Rescue Attempt
The Associated Press is reporting that an Indiana library has suspended a staffer, Cindee Goetz, because she took too much time trying to rescue a squirrel trapped in the ceiling of the library. The AP story quotes the library's executive director, Judy Hamilton, as saying:
"I don't want that squirrel to die, either, but I can't allow a live animal to be headquartered in that building. It's a severe situation I can't ignore. I'm not running a squirrel condominium here."
Emphasis supplied.
You just know there is more to this story.
And there is! This isn't the first time Goetz has been in "trouble with the law." Last year, she was reprimanded by the library for caring for an abandoned bird during work breaks while keeping it in a garage at the library branch in LaPorte, Indiana.
Ah-ha! Now we know where the library director is coming from.
