  New "I Love Libraries" Package available at 2008 Annual Conference

 

Advocacy Institute, Exhibits Supreme conference admission, and 
ilovelibraries.org Advocacy Membership offered at a discounted rate

 

*CHICAGO* -- The American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Library 
Advocacy is pleased to announce the availability of a new discounted 
package for library advocates for ALA's 2008 Annual Conference in 
Anaheim, California. The "I Love Libraries" Package will include 
registration at the ALA Advocacy Institute on Friday, June 26, "Exhibits 
Supreme" limited-access registration at the Conference, and an 
ilovelibraries.org Advocacy Membership, which includes a monthly 
e-newsletter, all for $100 -- a $125 value.

 

The "I Love Libraries" package will feature the Advocacy Institute, a 
day-long workshop and luncheon offering advocacy essentials such as 
message development and coalition building, and will feature afternoon 
breakout sessions on making budget presentations, crisis communications, 
and passing bond issues and referenda. This program offers a valuable 
opportunity to network and share ideas with library advocates from 
across the nation. All attendees will leave with the tools necessary to 
become better advocates for their communities and campuses.         

 

Also included is the Exhibits Supreme badge, which includes all 4 days 
of the exhibits (Friday evening, Saturday-Monday) only, plus the Opening 
General Session, ALA President's Program, Closing Session, and the 
Auditorium Speaker Series. In addition, registrants will receive an 
ilovelibraries.org Advocacy Membership, which will feature an 
e-newsletter on library advocacy news and issues from across the country.

 

Created in conjunction with ALA's website for the public, 
www.Ilovelibraries.org, The Friends of Ilovelibraries Advocacy 
Membership is a $25 donation to assist ALA in educating the general 
public about libraries.   

 

For more information and to register for the "I Love Libraries" package,

The Advocacy Institute is coordinated by the ALA Office for Library 
Advocacy and the Advocacy Institute Task Force of the ALA Public 
Awareness Committee in cooperation with the ALA Public Information 
Office (PIO), the Association for Library Trustees and Advocates (ALTA),
