Passionate and committed library advocates from all across Michigan will join together to represent our public, school, academic, tribal and special libraries. Join us from the comfort of your home, office or library, as we gather together in the morning on Zoom for an overview of the day and an inspirational keynote from special guest U.S. Representative Andy Levin. Advocates will then take their passion, knowledge, and stories to their individually scheduled virtual Zoom meet-and greets with congressional leaders, and will continue to strengthen our messaging throughout the day with emails, calls and tweets. So mark your calendars now, register TODAY, invite your colleagues, trustees, friends groups, and library supporters from your community to join us, and check out our website to review a collection of resources to help you prepare to be a great library advocate.
