<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The beginnings of the Library of Michigan come from the days of the Michigan Territory. In 1828, Michigan's territorial council realized
the need to collect, compile and store Michigan territorial laws and other important documents for the territorial government. Henry Schoolcraft (a member of the legislative council at the time) introduced the resolution that became "An Act to provide for
the appointment of a Librarian" to take on that responsibility. On June 16, 1828, the resolution was approved by Governor Lewis Cass and the Library of Michigan was officially born.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">At the time the resolution was approved, the library's collection consisted of 131 books used by the territorial council at the courthouse
in Detroit. The library and collection continued to expand and evolve as Michigan gained statehood in 1837, followed by the move of the state capital from Detroit to Lansing. The present day collection numbers in the millions and is located at the Michigan
Library and Historical Center.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

We continue to support the growth of library services in all types of libraries statewide and to collect and preserve the story of our State. The Library of Michigan’s 194 years has been blessed with a wealth of dedicated and knowledgeable staff that have
tirelessly worked to build a comprehensive collection and to meet the needs of Michigan’s libraries and librarians. I am proud of the rich legacy of the Library of Michigan and look forward to future years as an invaluable part of Michigan's landscape.” -
