Happy Birthday, MLA!

On September 1, MLA will celebrate 131 years of serving the Michigan library community!

Coldwater Branch LibraryMLA is Michigan’s oldest and largest library association spanning more than a century. It has influenced the course of Michigan’s libraries since its inception in 1891, when Mary A. Eddy, the librarian at Coldwater Free Public Library, wrote to Henry M. Utley of the Detroit Public Library about organizing a state library association.
