Advocacy: Home

Compiling resources to help empower and energize library advocates to push for better funding and support for libraries.

Call to Action!

The Governor's initial budget puts library funding at 102.1 Million, Construction Aid at $34 Million, and provides $3 Million to keep NovelNY going. This is the first time in 15 years or so that we didn't start the process with a cut.

 

Advocate for Libraries

Libraries need vocal advocates to push for secure funding and legislation that helps to improve services.

This guide will collect a variety of resources to help educate, organize, and motivate library advocates.

The New York Library Association (NYLA) is a statewide leader in library advocacy.  Check their page for more tools and information.
