Join the CILIP Scotland team, Sean, Kirsten and Leah, as we take you through the Library advocacy highlights happening across the sector in Scotland. Interviewing the people who are making the change!
We recapped and recycled content from our inspiring Green Libraries Gathering, which included hearing from the National Library of Scotland, Scottish Book Trust and Paper Boats Collective.
We also delve into the newest advocacy resource from CILIPS, which is the REVEAL: Reinforcing Ethics and Values for Effective Advocacy for Libraries toolkit, led by Dr David McMenemy. We asked Dr McMenemy all about the resource, how he hopes the sector will engage and more!
Additionally, we asked two CILIPS Grant fund Recipients, namely School Librarian Donna Baird, and Dr David McMenemy to share their tips and encouragement for anyone considering applying for funding in the future.
