forwarded from Govdocs-L -------- Original Message -------- Subject: help save The Library of Michigan Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:45:08 -0400 From: Reik, Connie <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: Discussion of Government Document Issues <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] It's been in the news, The Library of Michigan is in danger of being moved out of its lovely home and having its collections dispersed. The regional depository collection is one of its many collections. The genealogists (of which I am one) are trying to get 10,000 names on an online petition. Please join me in signing it. It is available at: http://www.petitiononline.com/RPAC2009/petition.html Please share with other individuals and groups. We need about 5,000 more signatures by October 1st. More information can be found at the Michigan Genealogical Council's website: http://mimgc.org/LOM.html Thank you! Connie Reik Genealogists can be and are the best users of our historical collections! ***************************************** Connie Reik, M.S.L, M.A Government Publications Coordinator Reference Librarian for History, Political Science/IR, Economics, Anthropology and Sociology Tisch Library 35 Professors Row Medford, MA 02155 [log in to unmask] 617-627-2073
