Your Voice is Needed - Advocate for Our Profession!
As state budgets are now being finalized and policy decisions made that affect all students in Michigan, it is time to contact every Michigan senator and representative about Michigan school library programs!
Please join us in standing up for our profession and for all Michigan students. We need every member to reach out to their home legislators to raise awareness and stem the tide that is eroding our profession. You may be the only voice in your legislative district. Don't think someone else will do it - you are MAME!
