Advocacy

Dec 4th 2019: Join CMLE at a Postcard Party!

Our mission at CMLE is to support YOU, our library community! We bring you resources, events, VR headsets, scholarships and mini-grants, and we advocate for library support to important stakeholders like legislators, principals, and School Board Members.

  • One of the ways we do this is by hosting Library Advocacy Postcard Parties
  • We provide the postcards and postage
  • We give you text examples of what to include in your postcard message
  • It’s a great time to connect with other library supporters in the area and to share with CMLE staff the challenges and successes happening at your library!

Join us on Wednesday, Dec. 4th from 3-5pm to write your own messages of library support! We will be working at the Local Blend coffee shop in St. Joe.

These are casual events, feel free to arrive and depart as your schedule allows. Email me with any questions: ajordan @ cmle.org (no spaces).

Mail Some Library Advocacy Postcards With CMLE!

Join us on Dec. 4th!

CMLE works to support all of our library members and that means telling legislators, principals, School Board Members, and other important stakeholders about all the amazing work YOU are doing in your library!

One of the ways we do this is by hosting postcard parties! We provide the postcards and postage and give you ideas of what to say in your message. But our main message is: all types of libraries are important and need funding and support!

Join us on Wednesday, Dec. 4th from 3-5pm to write your own messages of library support! We will be working at the Local Blend coffee shop in St. Joe.

If you’ve come to past Postcard Parties, you know they are fun and casual events, just a gathering of library supporters getting together to write to stakeholders about the necessity of supporting libraries!

Any questions, send me an email at ajordan @ cmle.org (no spaces).
Mark your calendars and we’ll see you there!
