Hello Michigan Library Friends! Look at me. I made a video. I'm totally putting myself out there for the cause. It's not something I love to do...but there it is: https://youtu.be/2w0ZBtVjjmk Thank you to those of you who have joined the Michigan MAME team. This is the final week. Please consider joining. Part of the money raised will go towards supporting the Michigan School Library bills. Part of the money goes towards other EveryLibrary initiatives. Sometimes social media is not enough and EveryLibrary needs actual money to make things happen. I think we are closer than ever before with the media attention school libraries have been getting. If you promoted it 3 years ago, it needs to be signed and promoted again. And EveryLibrary needs money. The 5K Your Way event supports all of this and gets our name out there. https://www.saveschoollibrarians.org/three_bills_mi_2021 (only 317 people have sent emails in support of school libraries) We were the #1 team and we have dropped to 5th place. Help us get back to the number #1 spot. Here is all the information to join or donate: https://www.smore.com/cs48d I'll be out running this weekend. But you can read for 5000 seconds ;) Or do 5K of anything. Steps doing yardio??? Floating across a lake? Ohhhhh...how about 5000 milliliters of wine drinking??? Just remember to take a picture and email it to me. kjanek@bloomfield.org Or upload it yourself on the Team Page: https://everylibrary.securesweet.com/teampage.asp?fundid=1373#.YVSKgrhKiUk This is also a great way to promote our library ecosystem!!! Public, University and School libraries!!!! We need everyone. Go Michigan Libraries!!! Thank you.
