Whether you are joining us in person, or you are #alaleftbehind, join us for this year’s ALA Annual Conference Advocacy Challenge.

#ALAAC17 Advocacy  Challenge -  Plan ahead

Set up a meeting with your legislators during the August recess or invite them to your library! Use it as an opportunity to highlight the value of your library, educate them on the issues that librarians care about (like net neutrality, copyright, funding, or privacy and surveillance!) and lay the groundwork for long term relationship building with the legislator and their staff.
