She is co-editor of the online journal School Library Media Research. Rethinking library advocacy. With the cuts facing libraries around the country, how to improve our advocacy methods has been a paramount topic lately.

At the Texas Library Conference this week, I was privileged to hear the Spokane Moms,(Lisa Layera Brunkan and Susan Lloyd McBurney), two of a dynamic group of moms who fought in Washington State to preserve school libraries challenging our notions of how to do library advocacy.
