ALA brings advocacy workshop to Pacific By Michael Dowling The need to advocate for libraries is universal, even in paradise. How do you raise awareness of the importance of libraries and their impact? How do you make sure that schools hire trained, certified ? How do you get a new roof for your library after a typhoon rips it away?

Thanks to the efforts of the indefatigable Arlene Cohen, from the University of Guam, the workshop became a reality, with sponsorship from IFLA’s Action for Development through Libraries Programme Core ALA Executive Director Keith Michael Fiels participates in a breakout discussion Activity (ALP), and IFLA’s Management with John Pagolu, Enion Kalles, and other librarians from the Marshall Islands. of Library Associations Section (MLAS).
