LANSING, MI – An advisory board is recommending that current genealogy collections and resources remain at the Michigan Library and Historical Center.
The report detailed Monday from the Michigan Center for Innovation and Reinvention Board says the program should be maintained with "adequate funding."
Michigan's budget problems are leading to staffing and program cuts at the library and historical center. The library's daily public hours will be temporarily reduced Aug. 2 through Sept. 3 as some collections are moved to other Michigan libraries. Regular hours are scheduled to resume Sept. 7.
The advisory council notes Michigan's budget problems and urges a fiscally conservative approach.
The advisory board was created by Gov. Jennifer Granholm in 2009.
