Take some tea with CMLE!

Advocate for libraries, chat with library people, and enjoy gorgeous and delicious treats like this!

We had such a delightful time last year when we held a member event at the Mad Hatter Tea House in Anoka that we want to do it again!

Since our members work in school media centers, history centers, archives, public, and academic libraries, we really appreciate hearing about the variety of tasks and challenges you handle every day. Plus, we love when our members get to meet each other and form connections across different types of libraries! We’re based in St. Cloud and hold many events in that area, so we want to branch out a bit to connect with some more members!

Join us on Sunday, May 5th at 10:30 for a Queen of Hearts tea service.
We scheduled this event on a Sunday since the majority of our member libraries are closed that day and can hopefully come join us instead!

We’ll also have a selection of library advocacy postcards with us, ready to sign and mail out to legislators and other library stakeholders. It’s SO important to speak up about the value that libraries add to communities, and we’ll help you do that!

Sip some tea, fill out postcards, and meet some other awesome library folks. It’s a great time!

If you want to reserve your spot right away, RSVP below! We are offering “scholarships” again for this member event, since we don’t want the cost to be the reason you can’t join us!
