Can libraries make it through the economic crisis? Yes, we can! Learn how some libraries can survive -- and even thrive -- during a tough economy. Hear success stories, get the latest tips, and learn how to better advocate for your library in this difficult financial time. Breakout sessions will focus on budgets, coalition building, and more. This Advocacy Institute workshop is brought to you by the ALA Committee on Library Advocacy, and co-sponsored by the Illinois Library Association, the Association of Library Trustees, Advocates, Friends and Foundations, and the ALA Chapter Relations Committee.
