Advocacy Materials for Outreach:

  • Library Bill of Rights and Freedom to Read brochure 
    Recommended for libraries to have available at the desk.
  • Library Bill of Rights poster
    Recommended for libraries to post this next to the service desk.
  • RIGHT TO READ kit - Free from Penguin Random House
  • Create a poster featuring community members to show their support for the right to read. This can be your staff, trustees, or town officials - be creative. Similar to the READ poster campaign through ALA, NHLA IFC has created a "Live Free and Read" banner to add to a photo to show support for intellectual freedom. Find the banner and instructions on the READS REPOSITORY. See examples by the Peterborough Town Library: PTL staff and PTL Trustees
