The information I found indicated that she was reachable via the Wolfner Library. I thought that was a little odd, and said so in my post: > [@Secret ban--Carl Hiaasen unavailable](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/secret-ban-carl-hiaasen-unavailable/1015847/6): > > However, I’m not 100% sure that’s accurate as I don’t understand how she is both the Missouri State Librarian and some kind of executive at Wolfner Memorial Library. **But I bet if you call them, they can point you in the right direction.** > [@TroutMan](#): > > t’s unfathomable that people might see it as encouragement to complain?
