MLA and the Michigan Cooperative Directors Association are joining forces to bring the ALA Advocacy Bootcamp to Lansing. The focus of the workshop is on developing an advocacy plan you can implement in your library. It will empower librarians with skills to tell their library’s story and secure funding and teach practical tips on how to be a respected and effective voice in your community.

Advocacy Bootcamp urges attendees to re-think advocacy: to re-define the library community and expand the way we advocate for libraries. The program will cover advocacy basics such as messaging, networking and community engagement as well as highlighting Intellectual Freedom history and principles. Attendees will focus on creating an advocacy plan they can implement in their library.
