What To Do...
  • Ensure that you are keeping your administrators, parents, and other stakeholders in your community informed about all of the great things happening in your library.
  • Get to know your legislators.  Invite them to events at your library, ask them to read to students, go to their coffees or information meetings, if possible.  Email them to introduce yourself and thank them for their work.
  • Watch the MASL Listserv and respond to calls to action in a timely manner.

How To Do It...For your convenience, use the following tools MASL has created:
  • Advocacy Resource Slides
  • Advocacy Toolkit
  • Advocacy Talking Points 
  • Links to Find Your Michigan Representative and Senator.​
Thank you on behalf of MASL and the school library media profession!
