Good afternoon!
We Are United for Libraries<http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/ala-members-blog/we-are-united-libraries> was written by United for Libraries Executive Director Sally Gardner Reed.
"Library news and literature has shown us that when community members put their collective feet down regarding library cuts and closings, the politicians very often back off. That's where friends of the library groups, trustees, foundation members and active library patrons come in. They are warriors in waiting! It's time for all librarians to commit to working closely with these lay library supporters providing them with the information and strategies they need to make their voices heard."
