Help save the future of Michigan libraries!

Every day more and more people walk into their public library to search for a job online, write a resume or file for unemployment. This is not only a reflection of our hard economic times but also an indication of Michigan moving forward. We are no longer a state that can rely on the manufacturing industry to support our residents, we are moving toward a knowledge-based economy and with that comes the necessity for access to technology for everyone.

Recently, MI Governer Jennifer Granholm has proposed a $10 million budget cut to the state libraries, and the entire elimination of the state library department. Library funding is currently less than half of what is required by law, any further cuts will be detrimental to the entire library system. Please contact your local representative to let them know that you oppose this detrimental cut!
