Libraries are the only sector within GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) that does not receive direct federal funding, despite the significant social and economic benefits they offer to their communities. A new national advocacy campaign has been launched to help libraries share their important story and provide them with the resources needed to advocate for their work. During the spring and summer, the CFLA-FCAB board collaborated with Impact Public Affairs to create a campaign that emphasizes libraries' essential role in the social infrastructure of communities. The campaign also advocates for greater federal funding for libraries. In the fall and winter, the CFLA-FCAB executive team began the first phase of the national advocacy effort, engaging with federal policy leaders and key members of parliament. In the new year, the campaign will move into its second phase, with the CFLA-FCAB Board partnering with member associations to launch a grassroots advocacy initiative designed to reach members of parliament across the country. |
