Library Advocacy: How to Make an Impact

Join us for our series designed to equip library advocates with the skills and tools to make a meaningful impact. You’ll learn to define your advocacy goals, craft compelling messages, understand your audience, and effectively tell the story of your library’s value. Whether you’re new to advocacy or looking to strengthen your efforts, these classes will offer essential insights and practical exercises to help you champion the important role libraries play in our communities.

This session will focus on Using Library Perception Information and Impact Data

Understanding people’s perceptions of a library—what they think and feel about the library—will help you plan and conduct an advocacy effort. Additionally, information about how libraries improve their communities—or impact data—can help further persuade and motivate audiences. This session introduces both library perception information and impact data and discusses how they can help support library advocacy efforts.
