(WGTD)----The director of the Racine Public Library has resigned.
According to a report in Racine County Eye, Angela Zimmermann abruptly resigned following a meeting of the library board Thursday night.
She reportedly sent an email to staff indicating that Friday would be her last day.
Zimmermann, who was hired in December of 2020, presided over the recent, $3 million remodeling project of the downtown library.
Last winter she also drew the wrath of some of the library’s employees when she opposed granting raises that were authorized by the Racine City Council.
In an emotional appearance before the Racine City Council, Zimmermann announced her resignation because of the dispute but shortly afterward rescinded it and continued to work.
