Join us in celebrating Michigan Library Appreciation Month and help us showcase the profound impact libraries have on the lives of Michiganders. Libraries and their dedicated staff play a crucial role in fostering connections, providing resources, and supporting lifelong learning.

We invite libraries, library staff, and patrons to get involved in various activities throughout the month. This October, we encourage you to submit the Michigan Library Appreciation Month proclamation to your local elected officials to secure their support. Issuing a proclamation can take some time, so start early by identifying a council member, mayor, or supervisor to sponsor it. Contact information can be found on your local city, county, or township website.

Stay tuned for social media ideas, newsletter copy, graphics, and more resources to help you participate in the celebration. Let’s go to the library, engage with our communities, and highlight the invaluable contributions of Michigan libraries, librarians, and library workers all month long! Let’s Go!
