Advocacy U

ALA has a new initiative that is geared to providing tools, training and resources to library advocates. At Advocacy University, you will find the information you need to achieve real advocacy goals in real situations at a local level.

Currently at Advocacy U, you will find—
Add It Up: Libraries Make the Difference in Youth Development and Education. This tool brings together the research and statistics that have been conducted in many states. With this information, advocates can make the case for libraries at every stage of youth development.

Advocating in a Tough Economy Toolkit gives talking pints, statistics, and data to help make the case for your library. There are strategies to help focus public attention and generate support for your library. Additionally, there are tips on how to connect with decision makers.

During these tough economic times, it is more important than ever to tell your library’s story to those that use and support the library and to those that don’t.
