Advocate for the Library

Why should you advocate?     

  • Elected officials don’t know everything.

  • More often than not, you know more about issues that matter to you—like libraries—than they do.

  • Elected officials need you to inform them about the importance of libraries.

  • If not you, then who?

Libraries and librarians are vital to the future of an information literate nation. Library advocates speak out for libraries. Library advocates are everywhere although they don’t always call themselves that. They are: library trustees, library users, community leaders, library staff and librarians.

  • Reference specific examples of how you use YOUR Library.

  • Be an advocate FOR the Library, not against our local officials or government.

  • Attend meetings of the Library Board to learn from others and to express yourself about libraries.

  • Attend meetings of your City and County Councils.
