Advocacy Toolkit

Northern Waters Library Service seeks to provide its system staff, system board members, member library staff, member library board members, Friends of the Library groups, and other library advocates with the tools and training they need to incorporate advocacy into their regular work. We hope that these tools will make it easier to share important library stories with city council members, town board members, county board members, state legislators, and other community members. A focus on year-round library advocacy will help NWLS and its member libraries build productive relationships with their communities, stakeholders, and funding agencies.
