Join your colleagues for the WebJunction webinar below on Thursday at 2pm EST. Because Advocacy Never Stops: New Tools for Taking Action Thursday, August 13, 2015 - 2 pm Eastern - 90 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/because-advocacy-never-stops.h... This webinar will highlight free, newly revised downloadable materials for public libraries distilled from landmark advocacy and awareness-building programs. Learn about two resources scheduled for release in summer 2015: updated curriculum from Turning the Page including tools, worksheets and training materials you can adapt locally to grow your team's advocacy knowledge and abilities; and a new online guide that walks through each step of planning and carrying out a local library awareness campaign modeled after Geek the Library. Hear from library leaders who have put these ideas to work to build advocacy know-how, increase staff confidence, and engage more deeply with the community. Whether you are looking to get started, or seeking to maintain momentum following a recent advocacy effort, join us to discuss strategies to take your library to the next level.
