State Library will end book browsing

Susan Dillinger noticed This Tallahasse.com Story that says it soon won’t be possible to stroll through the stacks of the State Library’s circulating collection in Florida.
The new policy will take effect in a few months. Users will be required to go to a single service desk and ask for the items in the circulating collection they want to check out.


The politically charged atmosphere surrounding the State Library ever since Gov. Jeb Bush tried and failed this year to persuade the Legislature to move the circulating collection to private Nova Southeastern University in Broward County has others questioning the motives of this development.
