Webinar: Tips and Tricks from an Accidental Advocate

Originally presented December 1, 2021

Communicating and interacting with elected officials is not something you learn in library school, yet is a fundamental part of the job of many library leaders.

In this webinar, Larry Neal, director of the Clinton-Macomb Public Library and Policy Corps Fellow for the ALA Public Policy and Advocacy Office, helps you build your advocacy skills and confidence.

Learn how to educate decision-makers about the importance of the library to your customers - their constituents - through facts, stories and personal interactions. Remember, if you don’t advocate for your library, who will?
