Announcing the ARSL Advocacy Center!

Build your advocacy muscles with the new ARSL Advocacy Center! Built and maintained by the ARSL Advocacy Committee, our advocacy resources are tailor-made for addressing the needs and effectively communicating the impact of small, rural libraries. These tools are available for all libraries, regardless of ARSL membership.

In addition to valuable professional education materials, the Advocacy Center features our new Advocacy Support Request Form. This form will enable the Advocacy Committee and the ARSL Office to connect you directly with the resources and expertise you need to address your specific advocacy needs. Whether it's content for advocacy-oriented staff training or letters of official ARSL support to present to your library board the ARSL Advocacy Advisors are here to help!

Coming soon to the Advocacy Center! ARSL Intellectual Freedom Video Explainers

These short-form videos will cover the basics of intellectual freedom. Their bite-sized length makes them a perfect conversation starter for staff training days or board meetings. Videos will be produced by working library staff members and written in an easily-digestible, no-nonsense style that communicates important information without pretense.
