SUMMARY:Library Trustees and Advocacy (Niche Academy)
DESCRIPTION:One of the most important jobs for a library trustee is 
 advocating for the public library the board represents. Many trustees 
 consider their advocacy role to be conscripted to library crises\, such as 
 loss of funding or large-scale book challenges. However\, there is a great 
 deal that trustees are allowed (and encouraged!) to do to advocate on 
 behalf of the libraries they represent that isn't tied to a specific event. 
 In this webinar\, Al Hayden\, Library Advisory Specialist with the 
 Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners\, will discuss ways that 
 library trustees and other library advocates can keep their public library 
 a part of the local\, county\, and state conversations throughout the year. 
 Trustees\, those who regularly work with trustees\, or other library 
 advocates such as library Friends\, will come away with customizable ideas 
 to highlight the essential nature of their libraries to their communities\, 
 regardless of their situation or level of experience.\n\nJoin Meeting:
