PresentationWho is telling your story? What is the story?
Advocacy is the strongest form of storytelling. What is your library story? Who is in your library community and what story will they tell? Support for your library must come from outside the library. Are you inspiring and delighting your community? What about curating and sharing their best stories and ideas; creating a space to promote your library, activities, and events? Let’s talk about effective strategies that will result in advocating what is important to you, but more importantly your entire school and community.
