Libraries = Strong Communities Toolkit
Libraries = Strong Communities was a national advocacy effort aimed at highlighting the value of academic, public, and school libraries, an initiative of 2018-2019 American Library Association President Loida Garcia-Febo.
Garcia-Febo toured a series of libraries throughout her presidential year to ignite public awareness about the value of libraries and library staff and create a groundswell of support at the local, state, national, and global level. Follow the hashtag #LibrariesStrong on social media to keep up with the Libraries = Strong Communities tour and related events.
Libraries were encouraged to use the Libraries = Strong Communities platform locally to highlight the value of their library and empower patrons to advocate for libraries.
