Ursula Meyer Advocacy Training-Advocacy, Libraries & You: Building Coalitions to Produce Positive Results, Wed, 7/10/2024 10A-11:30A Pacific
Description:
Members of the California library community, through the work we do every day, serve as advocates within the communities in which we work and play. We help identify and draw attention to issues of importance to other members of those communities. We build coalitions that successfully produce positive results on issues ranging from providing meals to children who might otherwise go hungry to keeping books and other information resources available to those who want and need them. And we help connect individuals, business owners, and other community leaders and members to legislators attempting to respond to community needs.
This highly-interactive 90-minute free California Library Association Ursula Meyer Advocacy Fund Training session, designed to help participants better understand how library advocates build productive, successful coalitions so they can replicate those efforts, will begin with an exploration of work by Peter Block (Community: The Structure of Belonging and Activating the Common Good: Reclaiming Control of Our Collective Well-Being), Geoffrey Cohen (Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divide), and Robert Fuller (Somebodies and Nobodies: Overcoming the Abuse of Rank) and focus on stories—including those of session participants—of how library advocates are building effective, diverse coalitions to respond to community needs.
Goal:
Participants will become better prepared to build inclusive, productive coalitions of advocates producing positive change in the communities they serve.
Objectives:
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
Identify at least three approaches successful library advocates take in identifying potential partners and building coalitions to address specific community needs
Be able to describe at least three successful advocacy initiatives completed with the involvement of library advocates
Cite at least three resources you can use to further hone your ability to build and sustain coalitions of advocates working with members of the California library community to produce positive results on behalf of specific community groups with whom you work
Presenters/Facilitator:
Paul Signorelli, a San Francisco-based writer/trainer-facilitator/presenter/consultant, serves as Library Advocacy Training Project Manager for the California Library Association. As author of "Change the World Using Social Media" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2021), he captured the stories of advocates working in libraries and a variety of other settings, and he continues to work with individuals and organizations to help them hone their collaboration skills to create productive coalitions to produce positive results. He recently led a one-hour “Advocacy Basics” session at the American Library Association’s LibLearnX conference in Baltimore and is scheduled, over the next few months, to facilitate a variety of other similar workshops on advocacy, community, and collaboration for onsite and online conferences.
About the Ursula Meyer Advocacy Fund Training Series
This program is part of an ongoing series of monthly online sessions organized offered through the Ursula Meyer Advocacy Fund Training Series; sessions are generally held online on the second Wednesday of each month, beginning at 10 am PT. The series honors the memory of Ursula Meyer, 1977-78 CLA President, California Library Hall of Fame inductee, longtime director of the Stockton-San Joaquin Public Library, and fierce advocate for library services and intellectual freedom. The Ursula Meyer Fund was established to provide for the training of librarians in all stages of their careers, and library supporters, in political advocacy and political action, in honor of Ursula’s belief that librarians need effective political skills to advocate for library support at all levels of government. Archived recordings of previous sessions are available on the California Library Association YouTube channel at @californialibraryassociati2705.
