Rally Planned to Maintain Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries

Link to September 8 AP article in South Bend Tribune, "Groups plan to rally this week".

Excerpt:
Librarians opposed to Gov. Jennifer Granholm's plan to dismantle the Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries plan to rally this week on the eve of a deadline to kill the measure.

They say dismantling the agency and dispersing its functions among a half-dozen other state agencies make questionable financial sense. It also would deal a heavy blow to invaluable public resources, including the Library of Michigan and services for the blind and physically handicapped.
