in recent years. Relationships with decision makers are foundational to advocacy that yields results, and effective advocates draw on a carefully honed set of tools to nurture those relationships, reach other decision makers, mobilize advocates, and communicate
a unified message. From software to social media to elbow grease, advocacy experts and practitioners will share tips and tools that individual advocates and organizations can harness to elevate--or fine tune--their own legislative advocacy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Library Week</span></span></a> 2023, April 23-29, will be celebrated with the theme "There's More to the Story." Libraries are full of stories in a variety of formats from picture books to large print, audiobooks to ebooks, and more. But there's so much more
to the story. Libraries of Things lend items like museum passes, games, musical instruments, and tools. Library programming brings communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, storytimes, movie nights, crafting classes,
and lectures. Library infrastructure advances communities, providing internet and technology access, literacy skills, and support for businesses, job seekers, and entrepreneurs. National Library Week 2023 will be a great time to tell your library’s multi-faceted
story.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
