The Anderson County Fiscal Court approved two new members to the Anderson Public Library Board of Trustees last Thursday, but the decision was not unanimous.
Approved to four-year terms were David Abner and Reda Bianchi, who will replace outgoing members Amy Kennedy and Katie Hutton.
Magistrate David Ruggles voted no on both appointments, saying his vote was more about the process of appointing trustees than about the people themselves.
