Michigan Library Advocacy Day 2027

Join us at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing to meet with your legislators on a day dedicated to advocating for libraries and library workers!

On Tuesday, May 4, 2027, Michigan library workers and trustees will gather together at the Capitol in Lansing to meet with legislators to build relationships while we advocate for library funding and support.

New to advocacy? You're invited to join us and help shine a light on all the good your library is doing in your community! For the first two weeks, registration is open exclusively to first-time advocacy day attendees. You do not need to be a member of MLA or have prior advocacy experience to join us!

Registration includes an Advocacy Day t-shirt, a boxed lunch, and a custom agenda. MLA will make every effort to schedule a meeting between you and your legislator(s) or legislative staff.

Not associated with a library? You can still add your voice by contacting your legislators and asking them to support libraries and library workers in Michigan!
