 This brochure focuses on the need for increasingly more sophisticated legislative advocacy on behalf of libraries
and the millions of people who depend on them. It is designed to help library advocates be effective in today's
volatile, bottom-line oriented, and complex political environment. The techniques and messages described can
be used at the local, state, and national levels.
This is a critical time for library advocacy. Decisions are being made at all levels of government about
funding, copyright, telecommunications, intellectual freedom, and other policy issues that will shape libraries
and public access to information.
This brochure aims to support library advocates in representing libraries and the public interest at all
levels of decision-making and in enlisting the support of legislators who will champion our cause.
