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: Making a Library Funding or Policy Request

All public libraries need adequate funding to meet both existing and anticipated community needs through library services, resources, and programs. This session provides an overview of various types of funding and how to prepare for and present policy and funding requests. You will then practice making a formal request.
