PORT TOWNSEND — Port Townsend Library Director Theresa Percy is on administrative leave while a complaint against her is investigated, the city manager said today.
David Timmons placed Percy on leave on Wednesday after an internal complaint was filed, he said.
Both Timmons and Percy declined to make further comment.
A City Council executive session to discuss the matter has been scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday in council chambers at historic City Hall, 540 Water St.
Timmons said that he hopes to issue a statement with details of the action sometime next week.
Percy has worked at the library since 2003.
A $3 million bond to support library expansion is on the Aug. 6 ballot. Timmons said he did not know how Percy’s leave would affect the bond effort.
