New details are coming out about how the Timberland Regional Library was bilked out of over one-hundred thousand dollars. Leaders with the library spoke to The Olympian about how the library system deposited $120,000 to a fake account over the course of two years. An investigation by local and federal authorities as well as by the library system found that although an employee did not follow proper protocols, they were also the victim of a scam and thought they were depositing the money into an account for the library’s insurance policy. Over the past year, new fail safes have been added to prevent money going out unchecked.
