Library Advocates are Critical
Speaking out about the value of public libraries in your community is so important. If you have a compelling story, talk about it! "Library members who share their stories as advocates for the library are invaluable,” noted Gary Wasdin, executive director of the Omaha Public Library, in a recent Omaha World-Herald editorial. “These individuals put a face to public libraries and remind our community why public and private support is important. Whether the library contributed to the story of a child who was able to increase his reading comprehension skills or an adult looking for employment, the outcome is the same: a better educated and stronger community."
