Earlier in the autumn, I put together a video on advocacy for Marge Loch-Wouters to use in her online course on children's and young adult library services. I feel strongly about advocacy--multi-faceted advocacy. I think it's important that we prioritize advocating for children in any venue we can; advocating for the value youth services adds to any library; and, also, advocating for ourselves as professionals with needs for training as well as work/life balance.
If you're interested in hearing what I had to say as an introduction to advocacy, check out the video below.
And the students heard what you were saying. The points you made were much in the discussion boards not just that week but in the following weeks. Thanks for sharing your passion!!
