Amplify Your Voice: Library Advocacy Boot Camp

8/26/2025

 
Join us for the Library Advocacy Boot Camp sponsored by MLA's Legislative Committee.

​Date and time:
October 7 | 9:30am - 3:00pm

This year's boot camp will focus on advocacy at the local level. How can you best work with selectboards, finance committees and other town officials to build long-term support for your library? How do you get the message out that the library is a need during tough financial times? What steps can you take to engage with your community when the library is under threat of disproportionate budget cuts? This program will address these and other questions to help you build your advocacy toolkit.
