IDAHO, USA — Blank served on the library board for more than 30 years and as chair for more than 10 of those years.
She submitted her resignation letter to the board Sunday.
"Recently some very challenging health concerns have been brought to my attention," Blank said in the resignation letter. "This has caused me to look carefully at the priorities in my life. I am realizing that it is no longer sustainable for me to serve on this board. It is negatively affecting my health. It is negatively affecting our livelihood. It is negatively affecting my relationships with my family and friends."
The resignation was effective immediately. Her term was set to end in 2025.
"I’m not quitting the library, I’m pivoting," Blank said in a Monday phone interview with The Press.
