Hi:
National Library Legislative Day is May 7-8 2018.
Michigan’s delegation is over 20 participants!
However, the more voices we have, the LOUDER we can be!
Why should you consider joining us?
- Because
IMLS (and therefore
LSTA) are still in jeopardy! (In Michigan IMLS/LSTA funding pays for MeL, as a start)
- Because
Net Neutrality &
Rural Internet Access are STILL important!
- Because our Legislators may not know how current issues can affect Michigan Libraries.
- Because our communities depend on us.
- Because every child deserves a local library.
- Because Libraries NEED ADVOCATES!!
- Because
NO ONE CAN TELL YOUR MICHIGAN LIBRARY STORY LIKE YOU CAN!
- Because it doesn’t have to cost as much as you think!
- Because there are more Becauses!!!
Would you like to know more?
