Advocacy isn’t just for budget season or book challenges. It’s every conversation your staff, board members, and Friends volunteers have with the people who make decisions about your community. Most of those conversations are already happening. The question is whether they’re landing.
Dr. Andrew Smith of Emporia State University will share practical, low-lift strategies for communicating library value in everyday interactions — no PR budget or communications department required.
This session is for library staff at all levels, trustees, Friends group members, and anyone who ever has to explain why their library matters to someone who already thinks they know.
