Library Advocacy Services

Since 2005, Communication Services has worked with dozens of libraries to help them achieve financial stability and sustainability. Now that libraries must live within a 2% Tax Cap World, it is more important than ever for libraries to make sure they are seen as an essential community services that deserve funding because of the important programs and services they provide.

Services:

  • Strategic planning focused on marketing and branding
  • Branding and marketing campaign development and implementation
  • Creative vote yes campaign planning and implementation for budget votes, funding propositions, creating library districts or building referendums

 A Formula that Works

Our formula is one born of success. We have won 84% of our library campaigns (Click here to see our winning libraries.) Now those public libraries are financially stable and sustainable. Our votes have resulted in millions of dollars in community-based funding supporting libraries–money that would not have been there without our work.
