We Need Testimonials!
One of the most important pieces for library advocacy is testimonials from library customers. Do you love your library? Do your patrons love your library? We are collecting letters, video, photos – testimonials on the value of libraries.
You can email us the items at savelibs@gmail.com or upload items to flickr, YouTube, etc and tag with savelibraries.
Thank you for your support!
