Advocacy is about raising awareness and gaining commitment that leads to action regarding policy, funding, support, or partnerships. This interactive class will help librarians identify and understand the interests and perceptions of key stakeholders and craft a message that will engage these stakeholders in helping the library thrive. The session will help librarians begin to craft an action plan that meets their library’s needs.
