County affirms library director termination Montgomery County commissioners voted 4-1 on Feb. 11 to affirm the termination of Rhea Young as the county’s library director after Young and a number of residents petitioned for her reinstatement. How we got here Young was originally terminated Jan. 29, according to previous reporting, following concerns voiced from residents at Commis- sioners Court meetings regarding the amount of conservative and LGBTQ+ literature available within the county’s library system. Precinct 2 Commissioner Charlie Riley requested the discussion of Young’s ter- mination be moved to executive session. Commissioners later voted 4-1 to uphold the termination and seek a new director, with Riley voting in favor of reinstating Young.
