Do you think advocacy is just for the higher-ups in your organization? Everyone can – and should – have a role in advocating for their library and the profession. Learn how advocacy can be made easy: Join ALA President Camila Alire and guests in a discussion on Frontline Advocacy, an initiative designed to motivate, encourage and train the library community to seize opportunities to promote the diverse professionals, resources and services of libraries of all types.
This panel discussion is sponsored by the Camila Alire Presidential Initiative Workgroups in cooperation with the ALA Office for Library Advocacy, Governance Office and Office for Literacy and Outreach Services.
