Love the library and want to learn how to
be a library advocate in your community?

" This event will walk you through the basics of library advocacy: What it is, why it's important and how community members and libraries can work together to ensure information access for all. Budget cuts threaten library services that may leave some libraries understaffed and underfunded. Learn from state experts how to advocate for Massachusetts libraries and your local library and gear up for Library Legislative Day on 3/26 "
