Be a Library Champion!

Many people think they know what a 21st century library offers, but the truth is, many don’t know the full story of the hidden gem right in their neighborhood. The best way to let them know is becoming a Champion for your Library! Get ready to show off your library’s programs, events, and resources to those who need to know – which is everyone!

Join Winona Patterson, experienced Library Champion, to learn about several ways to efficiently get the word out about the good that libraries do for their communities. She will be your guide through the different ways of letting people know about libraries and what they can offer to any audience.

In this program, attendees will learn:

What a Library Champion does:
• How to craft Elevator Pitches
• How to tell Library Stories
• How to talk with elected officials in your community

Who will benefit from this program:
• Anyone who is passionate about their library, whether it be their workplace or their home library
• All staff that interacts with patrons
• Outreach staff
