Librarians, historians consider suit
Historians and librarians and genealogists from across Florida might band together to seek a court order to protect the State Library.
Yup, as Christopher Hayes noted in The American Prospect last week on other issues, it's librarians who are looking after our rights, liberties and access to information.
The Fla. Historical Society's petition to save the library now was more than 12,000 verified names. Tomorrow is the last day to sign.
The Whose Florida? library page also has Florida Library links.
Library Planet runs an open letter from Jeb Bush. He begins it by lying about having considered eliminating the library and archives. How hard would it have been to say, "We listened to all the objections and changed our minds about that"? It would have looked reasonable, moderate. But no. He flat-out said his earlier announced plan never existed. Sheesh.
