4:41 PM EDT Oct 17, 2015

BOSTON —The Boston Public Library has fired a longtime employee who had been placed on paid leave as authorities investigated the disappearance of two prints worth more than $600,000.

Those prints an Albrecht Dürer engraving valued at $600,000 and a Rembrandt etching worth up to $30,000,were later discovered misfiled at the library.

One of Glover's attorneys, Mark Burke, says they're disappointed and are "weighing all of her options." He says she had always maintained the prints were misfiled and felt vindicated when they were recovered in the library.

The disappearance of the prints prompted a criminal investigation and led to resignations of its president and trustees chairman.
