Happy Friday! Just a quick reminder to register for Michigan Library Advocacy Day! We’re almost at capacity, and we don’t want anyone who plans to attend to miss out. Plus, the sooner you register, the sooner we can coordinate your legislative meetings—we’ve already started scheduling, and as you can imagine, there are a lot of moving pieces!

But we’ve also planned plenty of activities and speakers to make your trip to Lansing even more rewarding! We’re excited to welcome Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist; Skip Dye, Senior Vice President at Penguin Random House, and a leading voice in the fight against book bans; and John Chrastka, Executive Director of EveryLibrary and a national advocate for library funding and policy. They’re just a few of the incredible speakers joining us—we’ll also hear from MLA leadership, PEN America, legislators, and more. Your registration includes a cool t-shirt, a tasty, boxed lunch, and a customized schedule. Advocates are also invited to an evening reception at the offices of GCSI—a great opportunity to connect with fellow library supporters. Plus, bookmobiles from across the state will be on display! The entire day is a fun and powerful show of support for Michigan libraries, reminding our elected leaders of their importance to our communities!! Wondering what to expect? Check out a few highlights from last year!
