Florida decided to restore state aid to Florida’s public library system. This is good news. There’s also a quirky feel good story about one Florida librarian a systems librarian at Wilderness Coast Public Libraries, who dedicated his vacation
to hanging around the Capitol which he did last year as well.This year Paul spent days at the Florida Capitol, holding signs in suppport of State Aid funding for public libraries. At midnight on April 26 as funding was restored, Senator J.D. Alexander acknowledged that advocates could learn a lot from Paul’s example.
FLA blog mentions this, and Paul comments “Together, as a team we won a victory for the many patrons who rely on their libraries.” Thanks Paul, and Co.Longer story over at Tampabay.com and Library Journal.

The fact that people still have hearts and that they can fund the RIGHT things still shocks me to this day. I guess these younger generations don’t seem to realize that learning and reading is one of the most important things that they need to do. Forget the new phones, the new computers, or iPhones. Definitely good news from Florida, but Michigan is in the pooper in terms of funding. The only good library we have around here is a 30 mile drive.
