Public, academic and school libraries are all vital to quality services for student achievement in your community. Come join us at the Collaboration and Student Achievement: How School, Public and Academic Libraries Are Working Together workshop to learn more about the range of possible collaborations between libraries, both here in Michigan and across the country.

The breakout session tracks are Information Literacy and College Readiness, Public Library Partnership Models, and The Online Teaching Environment: Collections and Collaborations. Our partners are MAME, MCLS, MLA, MI-ALA, the Library of Michigan Foundation, and the Cooperative Directors Association (CDA).
