I guess that I have mixed feelings about this. Go figure..... Myself personally, I wouldn't object to paying a fee of a couple dollars for the use of the Library of Michigan. It's kind of like where I live. I am restricted to a local rural library that is so small I may have more books at home in my own library than they do. That is where the penal fines go and also the ones supported by local government, etc.., etc. If I want to go into town, which is just as close, I have to pay a $25.00 a year fee for a library card and the ability to check out books. <sigh> What I don't like about the charging of fees for entrance is that the family who may be living on minimum wage, if they are lucky, or the unemployed families that want to take their child to the Library of Michigan and can't afford the fee are out of luck. We talk so much about families and doing things with our children, but, government is making it so restrictive that the poor family can't even take their children to a State park without paying a daily or yearly fee to enter. It just isn't right. I live close to Ferris State University and I watch them build, remodel and tear down older buildings, that look pretty darn good to me, and I wonder where the money comes from for that? Grants, probably. But, why are they building when the economy is so bad in MI and fewer and fewer people can afford to send their children to college. Seems like that money could be used to better service the residents and the children of this State by saving our History and preserving it right where we have it. Moving the materials from the Library of MI would entail a great deal of cost and then to remodel the Library for other uses. I'd like to see what the cost savings would really be in the end... Probably wouldn't be any. What is the solution? I really don't know. They can't add another fee on to the smoker, as we have taxed them to death in this State as it is. Maybe eliminate the border police for out of state cigarette buying? I wonder how much that costs? How about the drinker? More tax on alcohol to support the library? Both of those leave it to certain segments of the population that have to pay for everything it seems. I once saw an article written in to the Grand Rapids Press where some one advocated putting a tax on TP, as everyone uses it. <g> Now, I think that I am going to go hide before Pat, my Co-Coordinator of this list moderates me and she probably will.

According to Wikipedia (online encyclopedia): Genealogy remains a useful auxiliary science, without which history cannot properly be conducted. Yet at the same time it also holds great sway over the popular imagination, probably more so than academic history. This is only natural; the pursuit of genealogy can give people important answers to the questions of who they are and where they come from. So saving our library is vital. "There are only two lasting bequests we can give our children - one is roots, and the other, wings." --Hodding S. Carter I think I will hand write, with blue ink, on stationary, some letters to the appropriate politicians. Oct 1st is coming fast.

If one wants to use any of the materials in the closed stacks at the Detroit Public Library, such as those in the Burton Historical Collection, you must be a resident of the City of Detroit to access those materials without charge. Non-Detroit residents are assessed a $10.00 per day fee or $100.00 per year charge. I do not think that "pay to play" at the Library of Michigan is against the concept of a public library. When I wrote to my representative, I posed the idea of a purchased library card to him.

Hi All, Can I take this opportunity to thank SCIGSC for sending the links below to the list :0) My research for my SHIRLEY/KITCHEN family hail from Saginaw County, Michigan specifically, Detroit, so these links will be very useful to me. Please may I add an " Off Topic " postscript to this list? It saddens me to say that Betty SHIRLEY, founder of the www.shirleyassociation.com has passed away last Wednesday. She was a member of GOONS and has helped thousands of SHIRLEY researchers world wide, I was lucky to have her stay with me in the UK in 2003 when she was on one of her many SHIRLEY Conventions to help us with our research. She will be very sadly missed.

I'm not against the idea, but... doesn't it run contrary to the concept of a public library, as proposed by Benjamin Franklin?

Here, here, Kathy! However, I'd like to make a couple of additional comments. Although I am not a member of a genealogical society, I am a pretty darn serious researcher and try and visit the state libs once a week. Like Kathy, I've wondered how researchers can be more proactive as the state of Michigan tries to reconcile its budget shortfall. How can researchers help fill a gap to show a good faith effort that the state library is important to researchers as well as the other programs the state libs offers? During the past few days, I have nosed around the MHAL website as well as a few others. As we get closer to October 1, I wonder: 1. How much money and/or grants were raised for calendar year 2008 (the last listing is Dec 2007) by the Library's foundation? (I did see a blurb where the foundation sent a letter out to its contributors.) This includes individual donations. 2. Would it help if researchers pledged $$ (by a certain date) in order to keep the state library open at its current location? A "fundraiser" might show the governor and the legislature how important we feel this complex is. As Kathy and others (privately) more or less said, Is there any consideration about having a “pay to play” scheme, similar to the Detroit Public Library? Are other Midwest states’ library going through the same budget woes and what are they doing to make up the shortfall? Just a couple of thoughts as this issue gets closer to midnight.... flora resea rching Carpenter, Clark, Churchill and Edgerton lines here in southern Michigan Begin forwarded message: Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2009 07:14:14 -0700 (PDT) From: Kathy Londo Barnes <digginroots@yahoo.com> Subject: [MI-GENEALOGY] Ways to Save the State of Michigan Library To: mi-genealogy@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <479153.98077.qm@web65507.mail.ac4.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 We already pay parking.?

The Seeking Michigan website is a joint project of the Library and Archives of Michigan, therefore without the library and archives there would be no Seeking Michigan website.

Kathy, I absolutely agree. A small fee from each user could add up to a lot of support. I think of it this way: when we consider going to a movie we automatically accept the ticket will cost X amount of dollars. Why not give up a movie or two and give the money to the Library instead.

There are Teets' family who have lived in Atlanta, Michigan for years. Have you researched in that town? Briley Township Cemetery may be where some of them are buried. If not there, perhaps in the nearby cemeteries of Albert, Avery, Hillman Township, Loud, Montmorency, Rust or Vienna. ----- Original Message ----- From: <mi-genealogy-request@rootsweb.com> To: <mi-genealogy@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 26, 2009 3:00 AM Subject: MI-GENEALOGY Digest, Vol 4, Issue 174 > > > ***************************** > The theme of this list is Michigan genealogy and research.

We already pay parking. We already pay for copies. Why not pay a minute entrance fee to the facilities? Yes, I know our taxes already support the running of the library, archives and the museum. However, I'd gladly pay a dollar or two to walk into the library. It might help pay for the electricity that's running the computers that are used by those who don't have one at home. That dollar or two would be taken from everyone who walks in. Walk into the archives-pay your dollar or two. It's cheap entertainment (for someone like me who really enjoys such things it's entertaining....) Same with the museum. I have to pay to walk into any other museum in the state, why not? Said my piece. Kathy Londo Barnes Let's Save our Library!!!
