Hello library world!

The Michigan Library Association Annual Conference is a little over two months away.There is a great lineup of keynote speakers for this year’s conference, and if you’re like me, you might find it interesting to learn a little more about the speakers

First, to learn more, take a look at the MLA Annual Conference website here. Second, maybe you would like to consider joining our first MLA Annual Conference Book Club? From now until the conference, we will be reading a book published from each of our keynote speakers. Feel free to come to as many or as few as you would like and discuss some books with your colleagues, and become more knowledgeable about our speakers you can meet in person this October!

• The first virtual meeting will be on Thursday, September 18th at 1pm, where we will be discussing “The Wishing Bridge” by Viola Shipman.
  
  

• A few weeks later on Thursday, October 16th at 1pm we will be meeting virtually to discuss “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America” by Barbara McQuade.

If you are interested in participating in the discussion about one or more of these books, you can register to receive a Zoom link here.

Also, consider joining the official MLA discord channel to chat about the books leading up to the conference!
