Hundreds Protest Florida State Library Move

摘要

Some 400 librarians, historians, and patrons joined hands and encircled the R. A. Gray building in Tallahassee March 4 to protest Gov. Jeb Bush's proposal to move the circulating collection of the State Library of Florida some 400 miles away to Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. The crowd had moved to the building, home to the state archives and museum as well as the library, in the afternoon after staging a demonstration in the Capitol building during Bush's "State of the State" speech to the legislature, the Orlando Sentinel reported March 5.
