18 Sep '19

Due to CSLP meeting schedule this form is open for today ONLY! (9/18/19) Cathy Lancaster from Library of Michigan is at CSLP's Annual Meeting<http://www.cslpreads.org/>, along with Dickinson County Library's Emily Cummings. We've narrowed down the 2023 theme options to the 3 noted on the poll, please vote for 1! Remember, slogan suggestions that narrow down 2023 will be gathered & voted on in 2020, so this is just for broader theme ideas! For example, 2019's theme was "Space" and later we voted on "A Universe of Stories" for a specific slogan. In the end CSLP members from across the country will have input, so make your voices heard, Michigan! Art work in 2023 will be done by illustrator Frank Morrison<https://morrisongraphics.com/collections>.

Friends speakers
by Rebecca Higgerson 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

Hello everyone! I’m working on the Friends of Michigan Libraries Workshop for March 2020 and was wondering if you have a dynamic Friends President/Board Member who would be interested in speaking to a very engaged Friends audience; or maybe you have heard a dynamic Friends presentation! We haven’t settled on a solid theme yet, so I thought it might be worthwhile to see if any of you have recommendations that you can send my way. Please feel free to share this post widely. The workshop will be held at the Portage District Library. Thanks in advance!! *Rebecca Higgerson* Director Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1474 *ENGAGE **•** EDUCATE **•** ENRICH **•** EMPOWER*
