The Michigan State Board of Education has passed a resolution on the Freedom to Read on June 13, 2023. Among other points, the resolution affirms "that certified library media specialists serve a critical role in increasing student achievement by supporting, collaborating, and co-teaching with classroom teachers in reading development, integrating information and technology literacy skills into the content curriculum, and utilizing their professional knowledge and judgment in the selection of books and other materials." The full text of the resolution can be found at the link below.
