Every hour of every day, every library needs funding and support for the tremendous work you do. Whether you're applying for a grant, asking your Friends or Foundation or taking your budget measure through city council or the voters, you can learn new ways to engage and activate your funding partners. Come and learn from John Chrastka, executive director of EveryLibrary, the first nationwide political action committee for libraries. He will teach you actionable lessons from the campaign trail to help you make the funding-case. You'll learn about tips and tools to market yourself to all your constituents - and not just users - that will help reframe your work in the eyes of your funders.
