LAS VEGAS—Looking for ways to engage your friends and trustees in a grassroots campaign at your library? Need proven strategies for mobilizing your advocates or foundations to share the value of your library to an outside audience? Now more than ever, libraries need advocacy on every level, especially from their friends, trustees, advocates and foundations.

The session will be held Saturday, June 28, 2014, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Las Vegas Convention Center, room N263.

Join this session, led by advocacy expert Stephanie Vance and sponsored by the 91��ý’s Washington Office and United for Libraries, for tips and examples on how to have an impact through grassroots organizing and messaging.
