Please
take action by contacting your Representative in the Michigan House to oppose
HB4922 which would eliminate school librarian licensure
before November 5, 2025.
If this law were to pass, we believe it would contribute to decreased literacy scores and also Michigan would be the only state in the nation without school librarians licensing.

Let me know if you have any questions.
