LILRC Webinar: Telling Your Story – Advocacy Strategies for Library Success

Everyone enjoys a story, including our political leaders. We will help you develop compelling narratives that highlight your library’s value to government stakeholders. This workshop will teach you how to craft persuasive messages and deliver them with impact. It is an opportunity to let your patrons tell your story.
