Policy & Advocacy The Michigan Library Association actively campaigns on book accessibility and legislative interests (Right to Read campaign, support for SB19/SB20). This signals opportunities to offer policy-related services, training, or content on advocacy best practices, as well as partnerships with libraries during state-wide campaigns.

Leadership & Network With a network of over 2,500 organizations and professionals and recent leadership changes (interim executive director appointed in 2025), there is a need for leadership development programs, professional training, and strategic consulting to strengthen governance, membership engagement, and program delivery.

Digital & Tech The tech stack includes RSS, MooTools, Underscore.js, PHP, YouTube, Google Analytics, and social widgets, indicating a mid-scale digital footprint. Potential sales can target website modernization, analytics optimization, and content distribution solutions for member libraries and partners.

Funding & Scale Revenue is under $1M with a broad member network, suggesting value-add offerings that scale for small to mid-sized libraries and consortia, such as cost-effective SaaS tools, grant-writing support, or shared services that improve efficiency and access to funding.

Programs & Partnerships Active partnerships and public-facing campaigns (Youth Summit, digital literacy initiatives, collaboration with education and policymakers) present opportunities to offer event management, advocacy training, community engagement programs, and digital literacy curricula or workshops tailored for libraries and municipal partners.
