The MMLL Annual Luncheon will be held September 15, 2026 from 10-3 pm at Caberfae Peaks located at 1 Caberfae Lane, Cadillac.  We would love to see you there!

This year's theme is Building Stronger Libraries Together. The event is open to library staff, board members, and Friends from all MMLL member libraries.

The Luncheon will recognize the service of Board Members from across our member libraries, and Board members who attend will be entered into a special prize drawing. 

We are excited to welcome the following speakers: 

Andrea Vernola, Continuing Education Coordinator with the Library Development at the Library of Michigan, will present Conversations Worth Having. Andrea will share how Appreciative Inquiry and generative questions can shift the tone and direction of library conversations and help build stronger libraries.

The day will also include morning table talks and a catered lunch.
