Marion County Quorum Court to Discuss Library Situation

The Marion County Library remains open despite the former Library Director getting arrested and the Board dissolved last week.

Marion County Judge Jason Stumph tells KTLO that tonight's Quorum Court will begin the process of putting the Library Board back together will be discussed, and that the library will continue to operate with an employee taking care of operations until the board can be reestablished and a new director hired. 

Former Library Director Dana Scott from Branson was arrested last week and charged with Tapering with Public Records and Failure to File or Pay Taxes for illegal use of County Funds by buying items to be sold in the Library but having those items delivered to her Branson address instead. 

Following Scott's arrest, the Marion County Library Board met with Stumph announcing that he was reliving all board members of their positions stating the board needed to be held accountable for the situation but would be able to seek to be reappointed when the board is reformed next year. 

The Marion Country Quorum Court will meet tonight at 6:00 at the Court House.
