SWAN Board,
Here is the email I sent to SWAN staff earlier this morning. I spoke with Rich Wolff as
well.
Hi team,
As you are all aware from the article that I shared with you last week, I had a
presentation and meeting with the trustees and patrons of Park Ridge Public Library last
evening as a part of the interview process for their vacant Director position. While that
session went well, after much consideration over the past week I have decided to withdraw
my name from consideration for this position. I felt that the position was just not the
right fit at this time, and wanted to let you all know that as soon as I made my
decision.
I appreciate all of the well wishes you sent! I was very touched and it exemplified how
wonderful you all are. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to me directly.
Yours truly,
Aaron

Hi All,
I received an email this morning from Aaron that contained this article:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/park-ridge/news/ct-prh-director-candi…
Aaron is a finalist for the director job at the Park Ridge Library. I spoke with him,
wished him luck and told him that I hope he succeeds! Jeannie Dilger from LGS is the other
finalist.
He was caught off guard by the article being printed and was not notified nor asked if it
was ok. Aaron has notified his staff as well.
If the offer is made to Aaron and he accepts, I know that we will be in a good position to
continue moving forward during the transition of finding his replacement.
I hope all of you have a Happy Thanksgiving and a great weekend!
Rich
