MLA Mentorship Program

Are you looking to give your library career a boost? Is your professional life moving in a new direction? Whether you’re stuck in a rut at work or embarking on a brand-new career path, we all need professional guidance sometimes. If you’re a new library worker, considering a job change, pursuing your MLIS, or just looking to connect with someone established in the Michigan library community, the MLA Mentorship Program help you connect with others.

The MLA Mentorship Program is open to all MLA members and was established to provide a method of introducing and encouraging librarians and other library professionals to work together and network within the community. After several successful years, and based on feedback from past participants, we re-launched the program in 2020 in order to be more inclusive, provide greater resources to mentors and mentees, and increase the overall impact.
