Advocacy

I enjoyed visiting with State Rep. Renee Kosel as part of our continuing outreach to elected officials. As Illinois experiences its worst financial crisis ever, libraries continue to play key roles and provide vital support to communities and residents. Ironically, library funding is endangered more than ever before.

We must seize every opportunity to advocate for library funding & support and tell our stories. Person to person advocacy reminds me of a visually powerful commercial..."you tell one person, and so on and so on," while multiple images fill the screen. The influence of the collective works!
