CLRC’s advocacy objective is to educate librarians and library assistants in effective advocacy skills to use on behalf of their libraries, and to keep them informed regarding the status of legislation affecting their library’s ability to serve their patrons.
Advocacy Day
In cooperation with our professional partners at NYLA, a statewide Library Advocacy Day is held annually in Albany. The 2024 event was held on February 7.
In 2023, the event was held in-person on February 28. CLRC scheduled appointments with our regional legislators that day in Albany but a snowstorm cancelled travel for most of our advocates.
