NEW! Library Advocacy and Storymaking: The Hero’s Journey from Community to Page<https://ischool.wisc.edu/new-library-advocacy-and-storymaking-the-heros-journey-from-community-to-page/>,  Aug 5 – Sep 1
As librarians we’re steeped in story—through our patron interactions, in our communities and programs, and, of course, on our shelves. How can we use the power of story to bring out the best in our communities and our work? How can we craft library advocacy stories with the greatest transformative effect? This course explores the impact of advocacy stories in a shifting library landscape and how to implement library advocacy through strategies that both uncover and inspire community heroes.
