Celebrate Michigan Library Appreciation Month & MI Right to Read Week!

October is Michigan Library Appreciation Month, celebrating what libraries mean to our communities. Libraries are more than books. We are places to learn, discover, connect, and find reliable information. We provide access to technology and resources, support literacy and lifelong learning, and offer opportunities for people of all ages to explore their interests. We strive to be a vibrant community hub where knowledge, connections, and curiosity empower every person to learn, grow, and thrive.

MI Right to Read Week, October 4-10, reminds us that libraries play an important role in protecting the freedom to read and giving everyone the opportunity to discover a wide range of ideas and perspectives. At CSPL, we believe our communities are strongest when people have the freedom to read, learn, question, and think for themselves. Visit www.mirighttoread.com to see how you can support your, and your neighbors’, intellectual freedom.

Show your Library Appreciation this October! Visit CSPL, check out something new, attend a program, explore our digital resources, or simply spend some time discovering what your local library has to offer. 

Happy Reading!
