The Board Of Trustees at the Rockingham Free Public Library ruffled some feathers this week when it decided to close the library until mid to late July.  The library is in need of some upgrades and plans to use that time to make them. Some community members say the library should stay open, and that some board members should resign.

Domenic Poli has been following that story for the Brattleboro Reformer and spoke with VPR's Peter Biello about the situation.
