“Breakup of State Library May Be Near”
From the article, “Despite mounting public opposition, including more than 7,000 petition signatures protesting a proposed breakup of the 150-year-old State Library, a deal is quietly being negotiated that could move much of the library’s massive collection from the state capital to a private university in South Florida. Judith Ring, head of the State Library, has e-mailed her staff that she is “almost certain” a big chunk of the library’s collections will be moving. And the president of Nova Southeastern University said Monday he is in the final review of an arrangement with state officials, who he said are moving with “some urgency.”
