The establishment of a base of grassroot
supporters who are educated about your library
and its needs that reach beyond the walls of the
library into the local, state and national
community.

25. Key to Successful Advocacy
Be polite, be prepared, and be persistent.
Educate early -- if you wait until an issue arises it may be too late to garner
the necessary support.
Make it part of your culture, and work at it daily. Every staff member needs
to be involved.
Ensure your library is visible in the community.
Dont stop doing advocacy because the answer to your request is no. It often
takes time to get the desired results!
Be sure to say thank you, even if you don't get the answer or support you
seek.
