LIBRARY CLOSED SEPTEMBER 10TH
In response to the Governor’s Executive Order closing the Library of Michigan, the Pigeon District Library will join other libraries across Michigan and close its doors on Thursday, September 10, 2009 so staff can attend an event promoted by the Michigan Library Association and the Michigan Library Consortium.
The September 10th Rally will demonstrate to officials in Lansing that libraries are important to people and their daily lives. Organizers hope to convince legislators to maintain $10 million in state aid to libraries and to support efforts to keep the Library of Michigan as a whole unit with the state government. The goal, also, is to convince the Governor to include library officials on the planning committee which will determine the use of the building and collections currently housed in the Michigan Historical Center and Library of Michigan building.
All library supporters are invited to attend this event. For more information, visit our website at www.pigeondistrictlibrary.com and click on the “Protect Michigan Libraries” link at the bottom of our home page.
