The resources of this toolkit were created to help OLA members from all library sectors, to advocate for their libraries and to broaden the community of library advocates in Ontario. This toolkit has some tips to help you advocate effectively and tons of resources on library advocacy (p. 25), public library impact research (p. 25), school library impact research (p. 27) and academic library impact research (p. 27). The conversation isn't over! Advocating for libraries will look different to different people, and we want to share stories on how you are advocating for libraries in your context. Do you have advocacy stories about something that worked in your area? Or that didn't work? Get in touch with Sarah Roberts to talk about some ways you can share your stories--as a webinar, an Open Shelf article or a conference presentation. Download the toolkit now! Fill out this feedback form to tell us how you are planning on using the toolkit and how we can improve.
