Killing the library (cont.)
More on the the plan to close the Florida State Library.
Palm Beach Post -- Shutting state library labeled risk to archives. Librarians and historians are alarmed by Gov. Jeb Bush's proposal to dismantle the Florida State Library, an institutionthat began in 1845 and serves as the glue that binds together public libraries throughout the state.
News-Journal editorial -- State Library deserves protection from budget ax. It is a systematic dismantling of one of the most efficient arms of state government, eliminating along the way a state treasure--the 158-year-old State Library, whose 1 million items are the richest repository of Florida's collective memory.
Even Solonor's ire is raised.
