A retiree of Braddock County Public Library has been arrested and charged with harrassment after sending former employee Aaron Whitaker unsolicited e-mails to his current work e-mail address.
The details are sketchy at this point, however, sources close to the Sheriff's Department under condition of anonymity have revealed that Liz Bien, 69, sent several unsolicited and threatening e-mails to the work e-mail address of Aaron Whitaker at Solie Public Library. Whitaker quickly reported the harrassment to the Solie Public Library Director who then alerted authorites. Bien made several unsubstantiated allegations in the e-mail, and legal experts say she slandered Whitaker who quit BCPL without any type of disciplinary action ever taken against him. As a matter of fact, Whitaker's performance reviews were always outstanding. According to the source, Bien has cracked under interrogation and admitted that she was used as an attack dog by BCPL Director Kelly Millis who was enraged after spotting Whitaker at the signing of Whitaker's book at a local library a few weeks ago. Another source says the library has been in lockdown since Amy Yeager announced that she was quitting the library and would rather travel around the world destitute than to work another day there. The source thinks Bien is being used by Millis in the way "Nixon used Agnew." Bien was locked in a holding cell with a homeless man who promptly assaulted her, slapping her so hard that her ear ring was torn off.
The Braddock Times has obtained the reply Whitaker sent to Bien's initial e-mail. This email evidently sent Bien into a violent frenzy.
Ms. Bien,
It is certainly wonderful to hear from one of my old and dear colleagues from Braddock County Public Library. To know that you all (I realize you have retired and are now merely a concerned citizen) are still so concerned with what I am doing with my free time and my well-being and offering advice to me after nearly a year since I quit warms the cockles of one's heart. I really do appreciate the kind words, advice and encouragment you have offered me.
Just the other day I saw Mr. Millis at Jonestown Public Library and we exchanged pleasantries. It was truly a heartwarming experience.
If you wish to continue offering me advice, sympathy, encouragement or fan letters may I request that you post them to my Space or Assbook account (Just to let you know, Space has lost a lot of its cache, it's so 2007, Assbook is the place to be now- does Braddock allow its customers or employees to use facebook or is it also blocked?). As I'm sure you know, this particular e-mail address is for Solie Public Library or CUNT LIS Alumni Association business only, so I request that you refrain from using this address. You may also use this address if you wish to purchase a signed copy of my book.
I'm sure any of the other 15 folks who left the Research Services Division by resigning or retiring since the beginning of 2005 would also love to hear from you. I'm sure Annie Rover, Missy Perfectionist, Brittany Germain, Susanna McCain, Carole Kane, Pamela Turnersworth, Tammy Gruber and/or Elizabeth Simmons (just to name a few) would all agree that their lives and careers were all enriched by the time they served at BCPL. And, from what I hear from my many sources inside BCPL there are quite a few chomping at the bit to get out. Unfortunately for them, they don't have the same clout or connections that I had.
With warmest and most sincere regards,
Aaron Whitaker
