Turning the Page: Supporting Libraries, Strengthening Communities!
If you are planning an advocacy training for your public library or you are a seasoned library advocate looking for ideas and inspiration, you can find resources to help at the newly revamped Turning the Page website,
http://publiclibraryadvocacy.org/
The site provides a training curriculum is designed for the public library community – librarians, library directors, library staff, and partners – to help effectively advocate for funding, policies, and other support that will allow libraries
to continue to meet the needs of their communities. The curriculum and the other resources on this site are free to use and to share.
The curriculum is customizable and includes an Implementation Guide and a set of 15 training sessions with a trainer script, PowerPoint file and handouts. An advocacy workbook is included for participants to create a plan for their own
library.
Take a look today to begin strengthening your community!
