Amber Sheerin of the Michigan Library Association will explore the role of the Michigan Library Association (MLA) and other similar organizations in influencing legislation and protecting the freedom to read. Participants will gain insight into how advocacy efforts are coordinated and how library supporters can engage in the legislative process.

A Zoom link will be sent to registrants before the program. We routinely initiate Zoom auto-transcription. If you need further accommodation for accessibility, please notify the organizer by 4:00 p.m. Eastern the Thursday before the program. We will address your need if possible.

A recording will be posted on the Detroit Public Library YouTube channel and on lwvdetroit.org a few weeks after the program.
