<p class="MsoNormal">This webinar will highlight free, newly revised downloadable materials for public libraries distilled from landmark advocacy and awareness-building programs. Learn about two resources scheduled for release in summer 2015: updated curriculum
from <i>Turning the Page</i> including tools, worksheets and training materials you can adapt locally to grow your team’s advocacy knowledge and abilities; and a new online guide that walks through each step of planning and carrying out a local library awareness
campaign modeled after <i>Geek the Library</i>. Hear from library leaders who have put these ideas to work to build advocacy know-how, increase staff confidence, and engage more deeply with the community. Whether you are looking to get started, or seeking
to maintain momentum following a recent advocacy effort, join us to discuss strategies to take your library to the next level.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">With just six staff members serving a community of 12,700 outside of Bozeman, MT, the
<b>Belgrade Community Library </b>won this year’s <i>Library Journal </i><u><a href="http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2015/01/awards/the-loaves-and-fishes-library-best-small-library-in-america-2015/#_">Best Small Library in America Award</a></u>. This award, cosponsored
by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was created in 2005 to encourage and showcase the exemplary work of libraries serving populations under 25,000. What is Belgrade’s secret award-winning sauce? With a robust volunteer base, they have reimagined library
services and aggressively developed new outreach efforts to meet the community’s changing needs. The result is intense engagement and support from the community and an impact beyond Belgrade’s borders through leadership to small libraries throughout the state.
Learn how to replicate and adapt Belgrade’s ambitious outreach efforts on a small-library budget.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
