[LM_NET] School Library Advocacy Stories needed for AASL Toolkit

[Deb Logan <jd3logan@BRIGHT.NET>]

Please excuse cross posting:


AASL's Advocacy Special Committee is looking for school library advocacy 
stories

<>Do you have great examples of advocacy, PR, or marketing at work in 
your library media center?  <>
AASL's Advocacy Committee is getting ready to update the AASL Toolkit 
for School Library Media Programs 
<http://www.ala.org/ala/pio/campaign/schoollibrary/FINAL_toolkit.pdf> 
and is looking for descriptions of how you are building stakeholder 
support.  The committee is looking for three types of anecdotes:

@ Your Library Campaign

            Write a brief 3 to 5 sentence of how you are using the ALA @ 
your library^(TM) Campaign in your library.  See examples on pages 6 and 
7 of  the current Toolkit for School Library Media Programs. 

<>Reaching Out to Stakeholders

            Look on pages 12-13 of the Toolkit for School Library Media 
Programs for examples of the 2 to 3 sentence stakeholder centered 
advocacy efforts. Stakeholder categories include Students, Faculty & 
Administrators, Parents & Caregivers, and Community.

Voices of Experience

            Extended examples of marketing and advocacy ideas are 
located on pages 27-34 of the guide.  Voices of Experience stories range 
from 100 to 800 words. 

Send your anecdote and any questions to

            atyourlibrary@gmail.com 

<>By sending an example you are giving ALA/AASL permission to include 
your story in the publication. 

Thank you on behalf of the AASL Advocacy Special Committee.
