Please join us for Law Week May 1 - 7, 2019
The goal of Law Week is to spread the word about the importance of access to justice, and to extend that access to library patrons who may have legal questions and who would benefit from knowing the next steps they should take.
If you decide to participate, or have further questions please e-mail mainelawyersinlibraries@gmail.com.
