I called his office to advise them that public funds
created the public library and should continue to do
so.
i will be contacted everyone I can about this.

Hi All,
If this is duplicated, please delete, just wanted to
get the word out.
Just read a great article in Dick Eastman's weekly
newsletter. If you are
not currently subbed, you can join at

It is the best 60 cents a
week I spend.
Apparently good old Detroit has come up with another
way to screw the
visitors to the city. Anyone that does not live in
the city can no longer
borrow anything from the Detroit Library and or use
any of the special
collections including the phenomenal Burton
Historical Collection located at
the main branch. The only way you can access it is
to purchase a card for
$100 a year. I think I will contact them and demand
back all the things I
have donated to the collection over the years :(( I
also know now that I
will never donate to them again, will change that to
the State Library.
This is now just another slap in the face to tell
people you are not welcome
in the city of Detroit, we do not want you and we do
not want you to visit
our collections, unless you bring a LARGE wallet
:(((
