<p class="MsoNormal">This webinar will highlight free, newly revised downloadable materials for public libraries distilled from landmark advocacy and awareness-building programs. Learn about two resources scheduled for release in summer 2015: updated curriculum
from <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Turning the Page</span></em> including tools, worksheets and training materials you can adapt locally to grow your team’s advocacy knowledge and abilities; and a new online guide that walks through each
step of planning and carrying out a local library awareness campaign modeled after
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Geek the Library</span></em>. Hear from library leaders who have put these ideas to work to build advocacy know-how, increase staff confidence, and engage more deeply with the community. Whether you are looking
to get started, or seeking to maintain momentum following a recent advocacy effort, join us to discuss strategies to take your library to the next level.<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
