<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">“By the advice of the Chief Executive of the State, and with the unanimous consent and approbation of the Senate, on the 31st day of March,
1869, this Library was placed in charge of a WOMAN.”<br>
Harriet Tenney<br>
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">- Report of the State Librarian of the State of Michigan for the Years 1869 and 1870</span></em><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">The Michigan Territorial Council established the Library of Michigan in 1828, 9 years before Michigan statehood. Nearly 40 years later,
our first female State Librarian, Harriet Tenney, was appointed. She was the first woman to hold a significant role in Michigan’s state government. Her appointment and career brought greater acceptability for women to work in the Capitol – which they did in
growing numbers throughout her tenure. Tenney worked in the State Library for a total of 32 years – 22 as Librarian (1869-1891), and 10 years prior as the unpaid assistant of the previous State Librarian (her husband Jesse Tenney). She truly had a professional
career.<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">Tenney often took the initiative beyond the scope of State Librarian's role. She created Michigan’s first state museum, within the State
Library. She was key to the formation and success of the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society as well as the publication of the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Collections – a valuable 40 volume historical source for historians then and now. She was an
active, engaged community member who worked hard to improve the educational opportunities of women in Lansing, provide access to books for everyone in the city, and to both assist and honor Michigan’s Civil War soldiers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
