TAL Webinar: Advocacy It's A Way of Thinking

Friday, May 17, 2019

The Alberta Library is pleased to present a very timely webinar about advocacy to government.  We are especially pleased that this webinar will be presented by two very well-known and experienced library personalities whom many of you will know:

Advocacy: it's a way of thinking.

Advocacy is an area where both board members and staff may feel unprepared.  With a change in the provincial government, the need to ensure that MLAs have the right information for making decisions about libraries is crucial.  This webinar will introduce you to a helpful way to think about advocacy, and to approach your local decision makers.

Presenters

Margaret Law has had a long professional career in Alberta, working in both public and academic libraries.  Currently, she is teaching at MacEwan University and at the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alberta.  Advocacy has been an ongoing concern of hers, focused on her belief that the library community needs to tell its own stories clearly in order to inform others about our value to communities.

Punch Jackson retired in 2009 after working 40 years in the non-profit, public and private sectors.  He has worked in recreation, sport, community development, the voluntary sector and public libraries.  Punch enjoyed 13 years working with the Alberta library community on the creation of APLEN, connecting libraries to the Supernet and advocating for libraries within the Alberta Government and political system.  Punch is one of the founding members of the Men’s Sheds Association of Edmonton.

Please join us on:

Thursday, May 23 @ 2:30 PM for this live webinar.  A recording of the webinar will be available afterward as well.  Don't miss this great opportunity!
