Trustee Judith Kelley Resigns From Woburn Public Library Board

WOBURN, MA — Judith Kelley has resigned from the Woburn Public Library Board of Trustees and Corporation, she confirmed Tuesday.

"When I accepted appointment to the positions of Trustee of the Woburn Public Library and Trustee and Member of the Woburn Public Library Corporation approximately twenty years ago, my primary goal was the building of a magnificent modern addition to the historical edifice which would provide a new and beautiful children's room, handicapped accessibility, and updated technology to better serve the needs of the entire community," Kelley said. "I believe these goals have been accomplished."

Kelley did not cite recent events on the Board of Trustees, including an effort by Mayor Scott Galvin to remove the Board's President Jan Rabbitt and to change how trustees and the library director are appointed and removed.

Kelley did not attend the Feb. 4 meeting of the Board, the first without Rabbitt.
