Youth Summit for the Right to Read

In 2026, we’re excited for the Youth Summit for the Right to Read with BookRiot’s Kelly Jensen, an Intellectual Freedom Summit for 100 library leaders, and regional coalition-building trainings with EveryLibrary. Stay tuned for more information in the coming months. Together, we’re strengthening Michigan libraries, uplifting communities, and championing the right to read in 2026 and beyond!

MI Right to Read is an initiative led by the MLA, dedicated to safeguarding the right to read in Michigan. Visit MIRighttoRead.com today to join the coalition and take the pledge to protect every Michigander's right to read.

MI Right to Read is funded in part by the Mellon Foundation.
