<span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">Who's the best person to advocate for the purpose and value of strong and meaningful youth services librarianship? You are! In this full-day workshop that's anything but a quiet affair, you'll learn how to leverage

<span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">The fun starts with big conversations, small group activities and individual reflections that get you thinking, speaking and acting like an everyday advocate. We'll define "advocacy" together, bust some common myths
and explore classical persuasive communication techniques. Then we'll put it all together in practical, easy-to-implement frameworks perfect for sharing advocacy messages anytime, anywhere and with anyone. Leave this workshop feeling empowered, prepared and
ready to say, "Yes! I can do this!"</span><o:p></o:p></p>
