State GS Prez Pam Cooper would like as many supporters of "the State Library being left in the RA Gray building" to let her know if you can make it to Tallahassee Tuesday ... she and others in Southern Florida will come IF there is support for the effort. She has to know TONIGHT (Saturday) or Sunday AM in order to make arrangement to come up to Tallahassee for the day on Tuesday. Please EMAIL her if you are willing to be among those who will bring signs and stand on the sidewalk with other supporters ! Her message said: If you can positively commit to attend, I want you to send an email to the following: SaveFLStateLib@bellsouth.net As for contacting the state legislators, I also spoke with one of the Senators on the Appropriations committee and he said most of the Senators are against the move and the budget recommendations AND against the behind the scenes deals being hammered out ! He suggests that the House Reps are the ones we really need to get to ... to express our concerns for now and the future. The State Archives staff have been told they will not be moved or "parcelled" out to other agencies for at least the near future, but as one staffer said, no one is writing any 5-Year Plans for the Archives !! Everything is in the hands of the Legislature at this point. We all know what the Governor and his Cabinet would have happen ! And there is no changing their minds ... If anyone wins the lottery this weekend, please save some of the money for the Library ! <Grin>
