Dear Michigan Colleagues, As the IFRT councilor, I just received this message that the percentage of ALA members voting this year is significantly behind that of last year. I would encourage everyone who can vote to do so, no matter which nominees they support. I know that we have Michigan candidates running for office. Bob Robert P.

Voting turnout this year is lagging significantly behind last year thus far. As of Tuesday, April 15, approximately 14.27 percent, of the eligible voters had submitted their ballots. This compares with 16.98 percent at the same time in 2013. Total voter turnout in 2013 was 21.4 percent, so let’s try to meet or beat that number! ========================= Daniel Cornwall Alaska Chapter Councilor LinkedIn Profile: www.linkedin.com/in/danielcornwall Professional blog: librarianfromalaska.wordpress.com/ Twitter: twitter.com/danielcornwall FreeGovInfo contributions: http://freegovinfo.info/node/author/alaskanlibrarian
