I received this email today and am passing it on, with permission from the person who sent it.

I
found out today that the Tulsa Library powers-that-be are moving the
Genealogy Center from its great home at 2901 S Harvard to be part of the
general collection at the Hardesty library, intermingling the staff of
the Genealogy Library with general library duties and allowing the
materials to be out in the open without even a separate room. This is
not being done because they need the current building. It is going to
sit empty; they feel that the Hardesty library needs a “special
collection”. This will cause quite a disruption in genealogy research,
especially for Native Americans who get a lot of benefit from the Tulsa
collection and its staff.
Even
if you are not a patron of the library, please send an email to
the following persons and ask them to reconsider. You may not use the
genealogy library, but you can say that you have benefited from those
that have and include your own reasons. This move is eminent but not fully implemented, so
please send the email right away.
