Who needs libraries? Advocacy Bootcamp at the 2016 MLA Annual Conference

I had the opportunity to attend the Advocacy/Intellectual Freedom preconference at the Minnesota Library Association Annual Conference in Duluth, Minnesota, on September 28th. This was a day-long event, presented by Jamie LaRue, Director of the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom and Marci Merola, Director of the ALA Office for Library Advocacy. The presenters covered "why library advocacy," learned about telling the library story in a compelling way, discussed how to build a library network of advocates, and other elements of an advocacy plan. The last part of the day focused on Intellectual Freedom, core ALA documents that we can refer to, what policies every library should have, emerging issues in intellectual freedom, and resources available to us from the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom.
