We will use the Question Formulation Technique to explore the role of the library and library workers in making libraries flourishing and well-resourced public spaces. \nPresenter: Luz Santana (She/Hers)\, Co-Director of the Right Question Institute  & Yeja Dunn (They/Them) \nThe Legislature & Libraries\nTuesday\, December 15\n9:00 AM – 10:30 AM \nSuccessful advocacy at the New York State Capitol requires community involvement and support from the legislature. \nThe general election is now in our rear view mirror and we are speeding ahead to the next two-year legislative session. Members from the Senate and Assembly will join us to discuss the 2020 Session\, their roles within their respective houses\, priorities and\, the year ahead. \nPresenters: TBD \nEmpowerment through Self Advocacy\nTuesday\, January 19\n9:00 AM – 10:30 AM \nAdvocacy means fighting for the self\, too. As women have cracked the glass ceiling and climbed the ladder in the working world\, stereotypes about their behavior have increased. Women attempt to assert themselves when faced with challenges\, yet assertive women are viewed as aggressive\, mean\, or bossy. Historically\, librarianship has been regarded as “women’s work” and women dominate the field. However\, library administrative roles are often held by men. How might women in the library world advocate for themselves and ascend these roles? Be inspired by these three women who overcame challenges in the workplace. \nPresenter: TBD \nGrowing Genuine Community Support (Budget)\nTuesday\, February 16\n9:00 AM – 10:30 AM \nLocal libraries are funded with local funds. This statement might seem obvious to library advocates\, but it is a mystery to many local officials and residents. Community members who are charged with funding libraries\, or who influence local decision-making will exercise good choices on behalf of their communities when they understand how libraries are funded\, and the true value of delivery meaningful service. This workshop will focus on how libraries can (1) advocate consistently for local funding\, (2) inform local stakeholders about the nuances of library funding and (3) craft messaging that ties increased library investment to improved community wellbeing. \nPresenter: Brian Hildreth\, Executive Director (Southern Tier Library System) \nFrom Your Hometown to the Capitol\nTuesday\, March 9\n9:00 AM – 10:30 AM \nYou’ve made it to the end! Or have you? Advocacy work is cyclical\, without a starting or ending point. Ask yourself\, “What’s next?” You now have the ability to reach your legislators\, mobilize your patrons\, and market your movement. Now that you have developed your advocacy skill set and a better understanding of this work\, you will be able to set your legislative priorities. Your outcomes this year will determine your efforts next year. \nPresenter: Briana McNamee\, Director of Government Relations & Advocacy (NYLA) & Megan Murray Cusick\, Assistant Director for State Advocacy (ALA) \nCost and Registration\nThere is no fee to register to participate in this series.  Pre-registration is required.
