The Small but Powerful Guide to Winning Big Support for Your Rural Library

The newly-updated Small but Powerful Guide to Winning Big Support for Your Rural Library provides tips and tools you can use from the ALA Committee on Rural, Native and Tribal Libraries of All Kinds, the Association for Rural & Small Libraries, and the Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services.

Association for Rural and Small Libraries

An ALA Affiliate, the Association for Rural and Small Libraries provides a network of people and materials to support rural and small library staff, volunteers, and trustees to integrate the library thoroughly with the life and work of the community it serves.

ALA Committee on Rural, Native, and Tribal Libraries of All Kinds

Resources for rural, native and tribal libraries and librarians looking for support and funding.

Diversity and Outreach Fair

The fair is organized by the Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services as a way to celebrate examples of diversity in American libraries, and to demonstrate possibilities for other libraries in search of "diversity in action" ideas.
