Building Library Advocates Through Shared Learning
eLearning
Webinar
In the last five years, Iowa has seen an overwhelming number of library averse bills in the state legislature. As a way to combat misinformation and build community trust, Ames Public Library created a program for library advocates called Library Champions. Through this four-part series, library staff teach community advocates about library principles, policy, and procedures; then give participants a chance to use the knowledge they’ve learned through engaging exercises. From a peek behind the curtain to fun interactive activities, the Library Champions series has engaged library supporters in new ways.
This webinar will share how the Library Champions program was created, the outcomes of those sessions, and how your library can create a similar cohort of library advocates.
