The City Council in Lindsay, California has passed a unanimous resolution commending a library employee who was reportedly fired after defying her supervisor’s orders not to report to the police a library patron who was viewing child pornography, Cybercast News Service reports.
The former library employee, Brenda Biesterfeld, was praised by the city council, which also presented her with an award.
“This individual did the right thing by reporting it to the police, even though her supervisor said they were going to handle it internally," City Council member Suzi Picaso said to Cybercast News Service.
The city, which does not control the library, also sent a letter to the Tulare County Library System asking why Biesterfeld was fired two days after her call to police.
