I tend to agree.. He can ask the law makers to go back and make it right but
I am sure it won't be done.  The whole thing is nonsense and only hinders us
from doing our jobs as well as schools.  It is very upsetting.

While this is nice, how much weight does the Governor's interpretation carry
in a court of law?  I mean, this is not the same as an Attorney General's
Opinion, is it?

Thank you so much for sharing, Pam. I did not interpret the new bill as
preventing librarians from providing reference service to patrons with
election questions. Hopefully others will feel comfortable in providing
reference service as well.

Hello Everyone,

 

Because we have a millage coming up in March, we've been watching this
legislation pretty closely.  Governor Snyder offered a letter of
clarification that should help put librarian minds at ease.

Thank you,
