Libraries from across Michigan are invited and encouraged to participate, though this summit is not exclusively for libraries and will have content of value to many different organizations. Please find a PDF flier for the state-wide EDI Summit attached, and be sure to register soon if you plan to attend because space is limited. Registration will end April 24.
