Michigan Library Appreciation Month and MI Right to Read Week

Libraries are where curiosity meets opportunity, where questions turn into discoveries, and where every Michigander can explore, learn, and connect with their community. This October, during Michigan Library Appreciation Month and MI Right to Read Week (October 5–11), we are excited to honor Michigan libraries and library staff with the 2025 theme: “Find Out.”

Help us celebrate! Follow us on social media, share our posts, and plan to engage with us as we share questions and photo prompts like "When you think of library, what comes to mind?" or "What’s your library’s most loved cozy corner? Snap a quick pic and share it with us!” Answer the questions or share photos in the comments so we can help the general public "find out" more about Michigan's awesome libraries!

We also encourage you to give a shout-out to your library staff or your neighboring libraries this month! Remember to tag your posts #LOVEMILIBRARIES or #MILIBRARYMONTH so we can find and share your posts!

Plus, don't forget to submit the Michigan Library Appreciation Month proclamation to your local elected officials to secure their support. Download the proclamation.

Stay tuned for more ideas and tools to celebrate, and together, let’s honor our legacy as defenders of the freedom of inquiry and the right to read, and celebrate the vital contributions of Michigan libraries, librarians, and library workers all month long. This October—Find Out at your library!
