Second time that Governor Whitmer talks about the importance of literacy, Every Child Reads, without mentioning libraries
I'm very disappointed that, for a second time, I need to post that Governor Whitmer talks about the importance of "every child reads" without mentioning libraries. Is there any way to get her to be more aware that having access to public and school libraries is an important part of achieving this goal? Perhaps it would be possible for MLA and MASL to develop a letter-writing campaign or lobbying effort to convey this point. https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MIEOG/bulletins/40ad46d Bob Robert P.
