PROFESSIONAL BOOK OF THE WEEK

Title: Libraries Prosper with Passion, Purpose and Persuasion! A PLA Toolkit for Success
Author: Public Library Association

Summary:
Katie spent about an hour trying to think up the perfect way to explain how great of a resource this toolkit is, and was at a loss. Not because it isn’t a great resource, but because it can help with so many different things. At its core, this is a kit for advocacy. From the sketching out your game plan to contacting influential persons in your community to communicating with the public, if you need to advocate for your library, you need to make use of this toolkit. Everyone at every level of advocacy experience will find something within its pages they may not have thought to use or attempt in previous advocacy efforts.
