Saving Michigan's libraries, one city at a time

Late last month, I posted the following in Save the libraries, save civilization:

Across metro Detroit, communities bracing for library closings
...

Troy's library was originally scheduled to close Sunday. But on April 18, the City Council postponed the closing until May 16, hoping to find a way to fund the library.

Troy Mayor Louise Schilling said she would seek a dedicated millage for the library, releasing its dependence on the city's general operating budget.

Schilling said she hopes a library millage is on the November ballot.

I do, too, Madame Mayor, and I know people who would campaign for it, too. I hope you get together with them.

( Looks like I got my wish, which also happened to be the wish of those who will campaign for the library millage. )
