At a press conference on 29 October the Governor's Office announced that Governor Patrick is considering closing the State Library of Massachusetts as a cost-saving measure. The State Library of Massachusetts now has an online petition to collect support to ensure that these collections remain freely accessible to all members of the public.
A press release issued the same day addresses Massachusetts' budget gap, but doesn’t specifically mention the State Library. The press release does say that state agencies have been asked to prepare for additional cuts.
