Mississippi Library Association

Today is Take Action for Libraries Day!

Our libraries do so much more than provide books—they offer access to technology, lifelong learning, job resources, community programs, and safe, welcoming spaces for all. But these vital services depend on strong community support and advocacy.

💡 What does it mean to take action?
It means speaking up, showing up, and sharing why your library matters.

Here’s how you can help today:
📢 Reach out to local leaders and advocate for library funding
💬 Share your favorite library story or memory
🤝 Support your Friends of the Library group
📚 Visit, check out materials, or attend a program

Every action—big or small—helps ensure libraries continue to educate, inspire, and connect our communities.

Be a voice for your library today!
