Join LM’s Youth Services Advisory Council (YSAC) for discussion and idea sharing around programs that will entice school-aged kids back into your library this year. Please note that MiYouth has transitioned to quarterly meetings on the 2nd Tuesday at 2pm. Looking forward to seeing you at the next “MiYouth TWOsday!”

MiYouth meetings are open to all public library staff who work with youth in Michigan.

Pronouns Matter

Using someone’s correct personal pronouns is a way to respect them and create an inclusive environment, just as using a person’s name can be a way to respect them. Learn more about using pronouns and how to properly share your own at: https://pronouns.org/.
