About this Article

Former Carol Stream Library Director Ann Kennedy believes two board members were seeking revenge when they joined two other board members in voting to dismiss her. Kennedy had previously fired those board members' significant others. "There's no doubt this is personal,” said Kennedy, who has not made a decision about a wrongful termination suit.
