Public Library (SPL), was fatally shot multiple times in the head while sitting in her car getting ready to drive home. Her alleged killer: a man she had banned from the library two months earlier for behaving aggressively toward staff and customers. In the wake of Amber’s murder, I have come to seriously reassess my own role as a public library employee.”
