It is my understanding that OHS has decided to try to come up with solutions to enable the library to stay open for a short while now and to reopen in the future as soon as it is possible (http://www.ohs.org/about-ohs/news-press.cfm). 

I'm one of the many Oregonians who signed a petition to keep the library open and I applaud these efforts.  When I first heard that OHS might close its research library I was moved to tears.  As a librarian, I refer my patrons to this irreplacable resource and I understand that if it is closed, the public will be deprived of its heritage and the collection willvsuffer the effects of damage and neglect causing parts Oregon's history to be lost forever . . .
