Speak out for Libraries at the Capitol September 10 at 10 a.m.


Join the Michigan Library Association and our supporters on the steps of the State Capitol, September 10 at 10 a.m. Help raise awareness of this important issue and let your legislators know library resources are important to you.
We will plan to meet on the capitol steps on the east side of the Capitol at 9:30 a.m. with the program beginning at 10 a.m. Please bring your friends, patrons, members and anyone else who is interested in protecting library funding.

Things to know:

This is an outdoor event, please plan to dress accordingly. If possible, please wear a red shirt to signify you are part of our group.

If you would like to make a sign showing your support, please do. The more attention we can attract, the better. Signs do not have to be elaborate, they can be simple and handmade. If you would like suggestions on what your sign should say, please
contact us and we will be happy to assist with wording.

Please submit a letter to the editor of your local newspaper before the rally, telling your community about this issue and inviting others to join us. If you would like a sample letter to the editor, or need help determining where to send it, please
