Michigan Library Association
The Michigan Library Association is a United States professional association headquartered in Lansing, Michigan that advocates for libraries in Michigan on behalf of the state's residents.[1] It publishes a library science journal, MLA Forum.
Publication
From 2002-2009, the association published the MLA Forum ISSN 1539-4123, an open access electronic peer-reviewed academic journal covering library and information science published by the Michigan Library Association. It was indexed by Library Literature and Library and Information Science Abstracts. The journal was initially published on a quarterly schedule. In 2008, it switched to an annual publication format.

Public Library Fund
The Public Library Fund (PLF) is an endowed, reserve fund of the Michigan Library Association.
