This year, the MBLC is encouraging libraries in Massachusetts to invite their patrons to share their story of how the library has helped them.  As part of the FY2026 Legislative Agenda's theme of Empowered by Libraries, their stories will be shared with state representatives and legislators to demonstrate the importance and impact of our Commonwealth's libraries during the legislative budget season and beyond.
 
 
 
Your library can participate in the Empowered by Libraries campaign anytime during the year by:
  • Printing Empowered by Libraries cards from the MBLC Awarehouse so that your patrons can share their stories.
  • Direct patrons to LoveMassLibraries.com to share their story about why their library is important to them. They can upload images of cards, notes, photos and even video demonstrating the value of libraries and library services.
  • Share a 🔗link to your library's page on LoveMassLibraries.com.  On the homepage top right corner, select "Search by Library" for your library's name to generate a URL/link.
  • Post on library social media accounts and encourage patrons to share/post about how their library has helped them with hashtags #LoveMassLibraries, #EmpoweredByLibraries, and #EmpoweredByMassLibraries #EmpoweredByLibrariesMA
  • Download and share the How to Participate PDF
