[Michlib-l] Register for April Friends of Michigan Libraries and Trustee Alliance Workshops

[White, Shannon (MDE)]

Deadline to register is March 22!

The Friends of Michigan Libraries (FOML) will hold its annual membership meeting at its April 4th workshop at the Novi Public Library.  Election of FOML Board officers and new board members will take place at that time.

Friends of Michigan Libraries, FOML, and the FOML Trustee Alliance, will be providing two 1-day workshops in April for library friends and trustees. Each day will feature Jamie LaRue, speaking about intellectual freedom and related topics, as well as other presenters. These workshops will be held at the Novi Public Library on April 4 & 5, 2019.

Libraries are viewed as open access organizations, providing information resources and materials to their communities without barriers to those services. Libraries have an obligation to provide materials and information which represent all points of view and which reflect diversity of opinion. What happens when a library is challenged about its selection of materials or its use of meeting room space? How does a library meet that challenge?

Registration and full details, including an agenda for each day, can be found using the links below.

Thursday, April 4, Friends of Michigan Libraries FOML  - https://fomlevents.org/events/spring-workshop-and-fred-ruffner-symposium/

The cost for each is $25 for members and non-members is $35. This registration rate includes all workshop materials, refreshments and lunch.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Library of Michigan.
