Good morning, all,

Back to remind you of the survey for Law Week 2016! The Maine State Library, along with the Volunteer Lawyers Project and the New Lawyers Section of the Maine State Bar Association, is encouraging libraries that wish to participate one day during the week of May 2-7th. We are actively partnering lawyers and libraries earlier this year than in previous years, so that libraries will have more advance time to generate publicity for the event.

Law Week is where libraries partner with local lawyers to meet and speak with members of the public about issues of access to courts and justice in the Twenty-First Century. The lawyers will also provide general guidance and information on referral to legal resources to individual attendees.

We are asking for interested libraries to take our extremely short Law Week 2016 survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Law-Week-2016 as a method of communicating your library's willingness to participate.

Materials helpful to promoting the event will be distributed through both the Maine State Library webpage at http://www.maine.gov/msl/commons/legal/lawyers.htm or through the official Lawyers In Libraries webpage at http://lawyersinlibraries.org/ in the coming weeks.

As always, questions and comments are quite welcome. If you have spare cookies, please think of the cookie-impoverished in your community.
