A pathfinder to accompany the ANSS-PPIRS program at ALA Washington, DC 2019

Program Introduction

PPIRS and ANSS invite you to a panel discussion examining grassroots lobbying, featuring experts who will discuss the mechanics/logistics of grassroots organizing and lobbying as well as how libraries can provide the resources and services necessary in effectively supporting initial or ongoing advocacy efforts.

This program examines how librarians can help patrons in their own efforts to effect change in government and their communities.
