Advocacy Resources

The Library Advocacy Now! program consists of background material and exercises that will make you understand your own passion for libraries and how better to tell the library story to others. See CLA’s Advocacy Resource pages.

Some very interesting and useful materials are coming out of Alberta’s Marigold Library System. Check out their Advocacy! @ your library newsletter.

This is a ALA Advocacy site that might provide some interesting reading, I Love Libraries.
