Library Love Story is ready to go!
Library Love Story is our annual advocacy project. We collect testimonials from library lovers and present them to our elected officials at Library Legislative Day (Feb 11 this year). Here’s a link to the Library Love Story form.
I’ll launch the campaign officially on January 2, but you are all welcome to start using it now. The Library Love Story toolkit should have everything you need to participate. I’ll share a link to the accumulated stories once they start coming in. You can continue using this form and the collected stories all year for local advocacy.
This is a budget year. Please personally contact community partners and advocates and ask them to submit a love story! If you can, please attend Library Legislative Day!
