This is another PowerPoint presentation I created as part of the self-paced tutorial on Frontline Advocacy.

1. Creating a Frontline Advocacy Plan Another PowerPoint Presentation by Caroline Han Pasadena Public Library

8. “ How are you going to persuade them [your patrons]? What will your actions be? These are your strategies. Ask as many people in your library as possible to add ideas. At this point, there are no bad ideas!” (“Goals-Objectives-Strategies Worksheet,” 2010, p. 1) “ Get the whole library ‘family’ involved -- all staff, trustees and Friends. Make sure everyone understands the rationale and has an opportunity to give input” (“Developing Your Advocacy Plan,” 2010) “ Make this list of strategies as long as you can” (“Goals-Objectives-Strategies Worksheet,” 2010, p. 2) Brainstorming strategies is possibly the most important step of creating your frontline advocacy plan.

12. “ Congratulations! You’ve done a lot of thinking and planning. You’ve looked at all the ways you can communicate your library’s message and who needs to hear it. Now is the time for you and your Frontline Advocacy Team to boil it down to a neat … snapshot” (“Frontline Advocacy for Public Libraries,” 2010, 2.5.i) “ Break tasks into bite-sized pieces. For those who are ‘too busy’ but want to help, have a ‘to do’ list to choose from, such as attending one school board meeting, writing a letter to the editor or making one phone call to a key official” (“Developing Your Advocacy Plan,” 2010) Now that you have a plan ... go out and implement it!

14. The End Good luck on creating your frontline advocacy plan! Remember you have the support of everyone at Pasadena public Library!
