[LM_NET] Help YALSA advocate for youth

[Stephanie Kuenn <skuenn@ALA.ORG>]

YALSA is created an advocacy toolkit and we need your help! YALSA has hired Linda 
Wallace and Peggy Barber, of Library Communication Strategies, to compile a toolkit 
focused on youth services. We're inviting you to share your success stories and 
tips for making youth services a priority, how you demonstrate their value, 
overcome resistance and win the support of others in your public library, school 
and community. Tell us how you've gotten the attention of your library and school 
administrators, other community agencies and potential funders. 
We are also looking for library directors who are big supporters and advocates for 
services to teens. If you have a tip to share or would like to nominate a director, 
please visit the Advocacy page of YALSA's Wiki at 
http://wikis.ala.org/yalsa/index.php/Advocacy_Toolkit, and answer the questions 
listed there. 
You can also copy and paste the questions listed below and send your responses 
directly to Linda and Peggy at librarycomm@librarycomm.com no later than July 1. 
Many thanks!
