The Next Chapter for MI Right to Read: The Future of Intellectual Freedom in Michigan

Thursday, September 17
10:00–11:00 AM

This session will explore how MLA’s Mi Right to Read initiative is evolving in response to MLA's collaborative, first-of-its-kind Intellectual Freedom Summit in June. We’ll share the major themes that emerged and how those priorities are shaping MLA’s work in the year ahead. Participants will also learn about new and evolving resources and advocacy strategies designed to help Michigan libraries prepare for and respond to intellectual freedom challenges.

Advocacy Hour conversations are always free to attend but registration is required. 

MLA Connect Advocacy Hours are an opportunity for the library community to learn more about MLA's advocacy and legislative priorities including funding, elections, property taxes, literacy, internet access, privacy, intellectual freedom, and more. Each month, we will address a new topic and share any pending legislation introduced in the House or Senate that could impact the Michigan library community. Open discussion and Q & A will follow the interview-style agenda.

Monthly sessions will take place generally on the third Thursday of the month at 10:00 AM. Advocacy Hours are free to attend to anyone interested in joining the conversation! A maximum of 500 attendees can join each live event. Registered attendees will receive information and a link to access the meetings on the Zoom platform. 

Please note recordings of all MLA Advocacy Hours are available to watch for free and on-demand at MLA Connect On-Demand.
