This book provides practical strategies and step-by-step plans for developing advocacy initiatives for school libraries.
School libraries provide an essential service to the community, but without proper funding few libraries stand a chance to maintain the resources they offer-or to survive at all. School librarians can play an instrumental role in the survival of their programs.

Activism and the School Librarian: Tools for Advocacy and Survival offers straightforward, practical approaches for creating advocacy programs.

The contributors address the various types of advocacy and activism, including legislative advocacy at the local, state, and national levels; school and district level programs; and community-based initiatives. The book includes expert advice from successful advocates and provides helpful reproducible tools.
